Running a bush ambulance isn't easy or cheap! The savannah is hard on vehicles. Over 50% of our expenses go to ambulance maintenance. 4/n

In 2018 we began the Hadzabe Bush Ambulance to transport critically ill & injured in remote camps to medical care. As the Hadza community will tell you, this effort has saved lives. 3/n

Our new article is out in @newscientist with @HermanPontzer. We discuss our work with @briwood1 on sedentary behavior in hunter-gatherers (@HadzaFund) and why sitting in chairs may be an evolutionary mismatch. https://t.co/zV7pr1z0jI

Our bodies evolved to take rest breaks, but sitting on chairs and couches can cause long-term damage. Here’s how to change the way you sit and boost your health

Despite changes to the food economy (like now eating corn) and increased attendance at school, Hadza hunter-gatherer children are still very successful foragers. Time for a narrative change - foragers are just as modern as you and me #forager #nutrition #realpaleodiet #kids
The Hadza are a famous foraging society but they're not immune to market integration. Our paper, released today, is one of the first to examine how market integration is influencing juvenile foraging behavior. @an_crittenden @herlosKy #Hadza #anthropology

Great thread on cool new research in shrew metabolism. Did you know they grow and shrink and REgrow their brains seasonally!!?? 🤯
New @RSocPublishing science today! Red-toothed shrews don't make any sense <again>, and their metabolisms don't change much over a 30 degree temp range -- it's all about their shrinking body size. A thread. https://t.co/VQtMGLv0OZ
