I met Jon Marks in 2015, when I enrolled in the Masters program in anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I had just finished a Bachelors degree in anthropology and philosophy at East Carolina University, full of ideas but unsure where they might lead. I was lucky to have been mentored by Linda Wolfe at ECU, a biological anthropologist with sharp instincts and a habit of cutting straight to the point.

From the time were kids, were asked, What do you want to be when you grow up? Its a big question one that many students struggle to answer. Without real exposure to different career paths or learning about careers they may never have heard of, students often make choices based on limited information, missing out on opportunities that align with their skills and interests.

Life After the Ice The windswept floor of Mongolia’s Gobi Desert doesn’t readily reveal its secrets. But beneath its cracked sediment and the shifting shoreline of long-vanished lakes, archaeologists are beginning to piece together a story not just of survival—but of deep cultural adaptation. Pottery from FV 139 B - bottom of layer 1 (0–10 cm).

The Myth of the Migrating Phoenician In classical texts, the Phoenicians are seafaring masterminds—shipbuilders, traders, and creators of the world’s first alphabet. Their imprint stretched from their Levantine heartland across the Mediterranean: Tunisia, Sicily, Sardinia, even Iberia. When Carthage rose to power in the first millennium BCE, it carried the banner of this civilization to new imperial heights.

When I went to college, I knew one thing: I wanted to play tennis. Beyond that, I had no clue. I went to an open house at NKU, and during the welcome session they told everyone to go meet with their major. I didnt know if that meant I had to choose right then, but I assumed I did. And once I pick something I stick with it. So, I chose education. It wasnt some deeply thought-out decision.

Another term-time Wednesday means it's time for another Worldly Wednesday. It's the start of the summer term today, but I won't be there on the first day back as it's a Wednesday. The Easter break was busy with plenty of interest: trips to Iceland, Paris, Southwold, Oxford and London several times. I also started a new tax year, which meant starting in on my tax return.

When the Eaton and Palisades fires raged through Los Angeles, home of the second-largest school district in the country, they took lives and turned thousands of homes to ash, causing billions of dollars in damage. Much of the devastation was immediate and visible. But some scars will emerge slowly and last for years to come. A subtly pernicious one?

Something has been happening on college campuses thats as surprising as it is dramatic: The number of women enrolled has overtaken the number of men. Women now outnumber men by about 60 percent to 40 percent, and that gaps keep getting wider. And men who do enroll are also more likely to drop out. There are a lot of reasons for this. Boys get lower grades than girls, on average, in elementary and middle schools.

Farming After the Fire The Neolithic Revolution has long been framed as a triumph of human ingenuity—the dawn of agriculture, of domestic animals, of sedentary villages. But what if this turning point wasn’t planned at all? What if it began as an act of survival? Remains of a large Neolithic settlement on alluvial soil in the Motza Valley.

CLEVELAND In a public school cafeteria here, 6- and 7-year olds were taking turns sketching their ideas for a building made of toothpicks and gummy bears. Their task: to design a structure strong enough to support a single subject notebook. It was a challenge meant to test their abilities to plan ahead, work as a team and overcome setbacks. But first, they had to resist the urge to eat the building materials.
