Links to our research are always appreciated, although this one highlights our disappointing oversight in exploring the udder-sucking vampire toads of the Balkans!

Job alert!! We are looking for new post-docs to join our research team @MPI_EVA_Leipzig! Are you interested in primate behavior, cultural evolution, primate archaeology and/or technological origins? Apply here: mpg.de/20117008/post-…

dear journals: please stop with the NSA level password and verification checking. If someone is trying to hack my account to perform reviews, DON'T STOP THEM.

SO COOL! Congrats to @StockhammerPh and all other authors! This also made me discover the dearth of Egypt-related emojis nature.com/articles/s4158…

Delighted to share our preprint on mobility in the Iron Age central Mediterranean. This was a dynamic period, with the expansion of Phoenician and Greek colonies and the rise of Carthage. Advances in seafaring enabled new networks of trade, colonization, and conflict.

Nearly as important as the science? Effectively communicating the science to diverse audiences. This is SO essential - especially when studying something as important as the genetic ancestry of past people #adna Begin here ⬇️ theconversation.com/ancient-dna-he…

Calling #zooarch and #ornithology Twitter to help me ID these bones. Found in northern Germany, about 8cm in length.

The programme to our online roundtable "Motherhood in archaeology & matricentric feminism" is now finished - 17 exciting 5-minute talks. Tune in on 15 February 2022! oeaw.ac.at/oeai/veranstal…

.@gulsahhdal and I are happy to announce the #UHPalaeoPopGen speakers for the spring term. We are looking forward to interesting webinars by @AlMittnik @GingerHowley @rfregel @paleogenomics We'll continue to use the same mailing list: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… (all times CET)

This is old but it's always irked me. Shouldn't it say "It is for both boys and girls" to make its point? #GrammarQuestion

“This resulted in increased social stress in human communities that exceeded and subverted the ‘normal’ commitment of many hunter-gatherers to #egalitarianism” nature.com/articles/s4155…

First outcome of my mission to bring more genetics into [elephant] conservation. 🐘🧬⌛️ In a new paper, we show examples of how aDNA has already helped conservation, including in African elephants. 📰 Ancient and Historical DNA in Conservation Policy ➡️ tinyurl.com/3tf4fbr9

✨New @DiBio_UniPD Paper! The genetic origin of Daunians and the PanMediterranean southern Italian Iron Age context by @SerenaAneli @tina_saupe Montinaro @FranceCardil Solnik @Raveancic Scaggion Carrara Raveane Kivisild Metspalu @ScheibDr Pagani academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-ar…

DATES is a super powerful method for providing accurate estimates of the timing of admixture and works w/limited samples and large amounts of missing data making it ideal for #ancientDNA - happy to see this pre-print up!
