This is why we need to keep training bioarchaeologists, skeletal biologists & osteologists. Addressing Biological Anthropology’s problematic history/legacy is going to take well trained, skilled labourers for at least the next few generations. #Archaeology #BioAnth

Earlier today, I attended a press conference launching our new paper on the future of ancient DNA studies in Africa. I urged the Kenyan youth to venture into science, leveraging the @museumsofkenya global standing & scientific partnerships. #DNAIROBI #ScienceForAll @palaeobeth
Our latest paper in the American Journal of Human Genetics delves into ancient DNA research in Africa & propose a vision for inclusive & equitable research in the continent. Shout out to @palaeobeth & @KendraSirak for organising the #DNAIROBI workshop! doi.org/10.1016/j.ajhg…
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/…
New open access paper out today with @stgoldste @natalatl & team in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Go check out what we found in 135 flot samples from what we reckon is now the most floated site in Eastern Africa. 💧🌱👩🌾 #AllTheFlots #Archaeology #AfricanArchaeology

Profile update 👆🎉 Pleased to say I’ve been promoted to Associate Curator of Human Evolution at @goCMNH!
An important note of caution about avoiding over-interpretation of IBD results🧬
Found a shared genomic segment (IBD) of a modern genome with a Medieval individual? It does not imply an exceptional genealogical connection, really! Read more in our short @ConversationUK piece (inspired and led by @ShaiCarmi) ⬇️ theconversation.com/dna-says-youre…
One of my favorite takeaways from #AABA2024 was this slide from Wilson and colleagues (Bioarchaeology in the time of climate change). We are all responsible for human remains!!
