Nancy Bird

Had a great time with amazing colleagues @nancybird_, Catherine Walker and Ruairidh Macleod from @UGI_at_UCL @UCLmacelab yesterday at @pintofscience speaking about my @MSCActions postdoc work! Thanks so much for organising, Sam! #pint23 #MSCA

With #Pint23 for sure! Happy to be speaking together with @nancybird_ , Catherine Walker and Ruairidh Macleod! pintofscience.co.uk/event/who-do-y…

An Early View: Dr @nancybird_, Prof @Turi__King, & Prof @g_hellenthal review methodological advances and limits in genetic ancestry inference, emphasizing the need to communicate uncertainty to mitigate ever-present risks of over-interpretation. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

It's a wrap! #EESHuman finished lunch time today and everyone is already on their way back 😭 We wish we could all stay for another couple of days – no matter how much time we have, it's never enough and there's always more research to discuss! 🧬🤓 See you next time? 👋🏼

The second speaker is Nancy Bird from UCL on ‘Genetic data uncovers historical migrations in people from West and Central Africa’ @nancybird_ @uclbiosciences

Thank you everyone! #smbeBeyond

Our first group output from the #DNAirobi workshop is now published! Written by co-authors from all over the world, we share our view for what the #popgen and #aDNA research landscape in Africa could look like in ten years’ time (and how we can get there). cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/…

Currently advertising for a 3-year, Wellcome Trust-funded post-doc position at UCL: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se… aiming to disentangle the interplay between environmental pressures and our epigenome -- please inquire and/or pass along!

Do social behaviors irretrievably decay when they aren’t expressed for many generations? doi.org/10.1093/evlett… Read more in a recent article in @EvolLetters by @eleanor_bladon, Sonia Pascoal, @nancybird_, @r_mashup, and @BuryingBeetle 🪲 📷: Jack M Smith

🌍 Researchers at @ucl published a new study in @ScienceMagazine that revealed traces of ancient African empires in the DNA of people living on the continent, that help identify early migration patterns. Read more: 👇🏻 go.nature.com/43mJEWm #NatureAfrica #Africa @nancybird_

To this group of people who traveled to Nairobi for #DNAirobi, I am grateful for you and inspired by you.. We took a huge step toward building a future of ethical, engaged, and equitable scholarship and I could not be more proud. Onwards! 🧬💀🇰🇪 🌍

…brilliant talks by @SarahTishkoff @rfregel @nancybird_ and Getnet Yimer. Ready to kick off day 2 at @museumsofkenya 🧬💀🇰🇪🌍

🧵We have a new open access paper out in @EvolLetters! The evolutionary demise of a social interaction: experimentally induced loss of traits involved in the supply and demand of care: doi.org/10.1093/evlett… @BuryingBeetle @r_mashup @nancybird_ 1/12 Photo ©Jack M Smith

I passed my PhD viva on Tuesday! 🎉🎊🎉🎊Thanks so much to my examiners @beleza_sandra and Dallas Swallow for an enjoyable discussion!!!

'It’s vital that scientists analyse more genomes from African people. As we do so, it will undoubtedly reveal an intricate picture of the continent’s rich past.' Check out my article in the Conversation summarising some of the findings of our recent paper!!

Traces of ancient empires that stretched across Africa remain in the DNA of people living on the continent, reveals a new genetics study led by PhD candidate @nancybird_ with Dr @g_hellenthal @UGI_at_UCL @uclbiosciences. Read more in 🧵 from Nancy 👇ucl.ac.uk/news/2023/mar/…
