Postdoc at MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology studying ancient pathogens 🦠 #Gardening, #baking and #nature aficionado.
Have you heard of SPAAM? If you are interested in learning and keeping up to date about #metagenomes, #pathogens, #sediments recovered from archeological remains (in a community-based environment), read on! 👇
🚨🚨We are back! 🧬 Do you want to help to make easier to find the data of #AncientMetagenomics samples? On the 7th of February 2025 we will have our next AncientMetagenomeDir hackathon (spaam-community.org/events/news/20…) 🧵 [1/4]
Our latest interdisciplinary study reveals the story of East Asia meeting Europe in Lower Austria during 6th-9th centuries & their Peaceful coexistence (shared cultural feature) despite genetic difference! We reconstruct the past family pedigree inc. >450 individuals (a society!)
Ancient #genomes show integration of genetically different groups to the same early medieval #Avar society in the Vienna Basin, #Austria. New @HistoGenes study in @Nature, led by @kwangwangk, Bendeguz Tobias & Doris Pany-Kucera. tinyurl.com/38c7mtb9 & nature.com/articles/s4158…
Excited to share our new pre-print from my PhD @pontus_skoglund & Post-doc with @LucyvanDorp ✨Ancient Borrelia genomes document the evolutionary history of louse-borne relapsing fever 🧐 💀 🦠biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
📢 SPAAM 6 is coming to Rome! @spaam_community The meeting will be the day before the @archaeologyEAA conference on the 28th August ☀ Want to join us? You can submit an abstract before the 7th July 🇮🇹 Submit using the link 📝 forms.gle/66UQcvKibjo5fc…
Do you always wanted to talk to a PI and didn’t know how to approach them? We’ve got you covered with the new SPAAM initiative! Don’t miss it out #researchchat #aDNA
🚨Exciting news! Join us for speed networking with @StoneLab_ASU, @kguschan, @twarinner and @NRascovan, top researchers in #aDNA and #evolution on July 17th at 16:00 CEST (Paris time). Register by July 10th at forms.gle/Nn2VGjWN3jtvUn… 🚀 #Networking #ResearchChat

Congrats to @haak_wolfgang, group leader in the Dept. of Archaeogenetics @MPI_EVA_Leipzig, for being awarded an @ERC_Research Advanced Grant for his project ROAMANCE to explore the biological & social structures of past human societies! 🥳 @maxplanckpress tinyurl.com/32p3tek4
Delighted to announce that a new @nf_core preprint manuscript has just gone live! A collaboration with @EuroFaang, the paper covers updates to @nextflowio and @nf_core, and describes the experience of the @EuroFaang adopted @nf_core. Let's dive in...🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
🚨 Save the date for the first cross-community webinar of the AaRC/HAAM/PAASTA/SPAAM communities scheduled for: the 16th of May at 10.00-11.00 CEST. 📢 @HAAM_community @spaam_community @paastacommunity @AaRC_Community
🚨📢 If you're interested in ANCIENT PATHOGEN GENOMICS🦠🧬🦷🦴, submit an abstract to our symposium (@srama23 , @gunnar_neumann , @aidaanva ) at the #SMBE2024 🇲🇽🏖️ (deadline March 15) !! Featuring two amazing women👩🔬💪🏽 scientists @tanvihonap @eanelson42 (smbe2024.org)
🚨10 days left!🚨 Abstracts for #SMBE2024 are due March 15! smbe2024registration.org/abstracts 🦷🦴🦠🧬 ✨Submit your ancient pathogen abstracts to “Unveiling the evolutionary history of pathogens through paleogenomics”!
Not surprisingly, postdocs are unhappy and have to postpone big life steps like parenthood and stability! How can institutions solve this? An angry, short 🧵 (1/3) #FairAcademia #HealthyAcademia #academia #PhDVoice #academia #PostdocVoice #AHEADsup nature.com/articles/d4158…
We are excited to announce the SPAAM5 online event: SPAAM5 Part 2! 🥳 It will be held on January 30 and 31, 2024 on Zoom. Don't be shy and submit an abstract of a maximum of 200 words to docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… by 11:59pm CET on November 30th. Let the SPAAM magic happen! 🌟
Our paper on RNA recovered from extinct Tasmanian tiger is out! Great job @MarmolE6 and the team!
For the first time, researchers have sequenced RNA from an extinct animal species — the Tasmanian tiger. Genetic sequences from a museum specimen offer fresh clues about the physiology of thylacines, which went extinct in the 1930s go.nature.com/48pG94W
Anybody still our there? Interested in a postdoc position in human microbiome evolution using longitudinal whole genome and metagenomic data at large scale? Join us in Berlin at the @mpiib_berlin. DM or email me with questions you may have. Please RT. mpiib-berlin.mpg.de/2153816/job_fu…
Congratulations again @ma_spyrou!! Looking forward to seeing all the exciting work!
Absolutely thrilled to have been awarded an #ERCStG! PROTOPEST will study the impact of infectious disease epidemics on Middle and Late Bronze Age societies using genomic, archaeological and osteological data. Stay tuned for positions advertised this year! @ERC_Research @uni_tue

Read our #scicomm piece on our latest article about plague, written by @gunnar_neumann Alexander Herbig and myself #ancientplague
Unraveling the plague's past! 💀🪰 New study reveals Yersinia pestis, the deadly bacterium, spread across Eurasia 5000 years ago, even before flea adaptation. Did increased human mobility play a role in its spread? #scicomm #openscience @aidaanva ow.ly/n5lS50PeRHA
📢 #JobAlert As for today and until Octobre, @iphes is welcoming applications from #R4 #researchers as the new director of the research center! Please, help us spread the word! 🥰 🔗 More info: iphes.cat/job-opportunit…
