A UC Santa Cruz professor unearthed the oldest alphabet yet

I almost took an introductory course on archeology with Glenn Schwartz, many years ago, but dropped it after the first class. I remember having very different emotional responses to faculty members as a student. Schwartz struck me as elegant, diffident, blue-blooded, and completely disinterested in teaching a bunch of young morons who were just taking the course as a distribution requirement. I'm glad to see that he and his former students are an influential force in this area of study.

I always say a professor has (at least) 3 personalities, each of which do not need be similar to one another

  - Teacher
  - Advisor
  - Faculty

I've seen professors be great faculty members where everyone likes them but they are an abusive advisor and terrible teacher. I've seen professors be amazing advisors, terrible teachers, and most faculty members hate them (often happens when lots of department politics and this person is usually highly research focused). I've also seen people be good at all 3 and terrible at all 3. The current chair of my department is the latter and was unanimously voted against for chair, but no one else ran so he won by default lol.
