So Neandertals would have also been confused by "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra"??? https://t.co/4nPRglTWRm

Knowing Michelle was knowing a person of pure light and kindness. When she talked to you it was clear she truly cared about whatever you were saying. She was the best of us. Her memory will be a blessing for generations to come.
Michelle Bezanson has left the building. We all owe Michelle so much. She was an amazing colleague, a wonderful teacher and mentor, and the most generous and caring friend anyone could have. Read her work, marvel at her art, listen to what she had to say, and try to be like her.

So awful and shortsighted. Really sad for my colleagues who've put in so much work to make Kent a wonderful place
Anthropology is closing at Kent. We were unsuccessful in persuading management to retain this diverse and dynamic subject area. This spells the end for Social Anthropology, Biological Anthropology and Ethnobotany. Done. https://t.co/aEDG00OI4y
