Following a marvelous time at ISBA11 and our PAASTA conference, we're back to sharing the work of our community with you here! @ipatramanis.bsky.social PAASTA talk from March about PaleoProPhyler a tool for #phylogenies from ancient proteins is now live on our YouTube youtu.be/2gVEQyinL4A

Thanks to @isbarchaeology.bsky.social and @isba11.bsky.social for a great conference. I mentioned the legacy of Henk Kars of VU who established ISBA Geoarchaeology closed. Here is the link to the petition to save Earth Sciences @vuamsterdam.bsky.social www.change.org/p/red-aardwe...

From one great ISBA team to the next — thank you to our past organizers for building such a strong and connected community!

PCI Archaeology was at @isba11.bsky.social in Turin last week! Stay tuned for new #openaccess biomolecular papers soon with full transparency in the editorial process! Thank you @matthewcollins.bsky.social and Marta Arzarello for sharing our initiative! @isbarchaeology.bsky.social 🧪🏺🦣

What a week! 🎉 Big thanks to @isba11.bsky.social for hosting an incredible ISBA conference — so well organized and full of great science.

Shameless promotion from #isba11 - I'll be hiring PhDs to start early 2026 (plus postdocs starting later), using #adna to study livestock and pathogen coevolution, particularly looking at inbreeding and immune gene evolution! Contact me at kevin[at]palaeome.org, full ad to come. Please share!

Happy to announce that the paper on the first of our experiments to better understand how foodcrusts can be used for investigating diet in the past is finally out! Huge thanks to @jessiehendy.bsky.social and @matthewcollins.bsky.social for their support! doi.org/10.1371/jour... 1/2

Looking for a new approach to quantification of #deamidation in your MALDI-TOF data? Then you need to check out our new preprint!!! Fei Yang will be speaking about it at ISBA11_Torino tomorrow in Methods 5 at 16:00! #palaeoproteomics www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

⬇️⬇️⬇️ Also worth reading for other domains than health sciences! 👏

RANT Warning... This is how #UCAS explains what #archaeology is! To cap it all the iStock image is of a 'fossil dinosaur* from the Guizhou museum in China' (sic). www.ucas.com/explore/subj... Drafted this revised text - fit of pique! claude.ai/public/artif... *looks more marine reptile to me🤔

Delighted to be bringing you the following PAASTA community-led paper outlining our recommendations for best practices and open science in palaeoproteomics! Congratulations to the authors and for anyone keen to read the paper, it can be found #OpenAccess here: doi.org/10.24072/pcj...

8/5 And the article is now published in the Diamond Open Access journal @peercomjournal.bsky.social : doi.org/10.24072/pcj...

📢 @paastacommunity.bsky.social paper is live! "Open science, communication, and collaboration for the future of #palaeoproteomics" now published in @PeerCommunityJ 😀 A collaborative ECR-driven effort outlining how our field can benefit from #openscience principles and increased collaboration.

I had the opportunity to interview @matthewcollins.bsky.social on his recent visit to @cenieh.bsky.social. The podcast is out now! It's a fun chat about #palaeoproteomics and the ways we can study ancient #proteins at Atapuerca! Thanks Matthew for the chat! www.ivoox.com/en/paleoprot...

I am starting a computational lab at LIOS, Riga, Latvia, and going to recruit a few people. Please DM if you are interested in a postdoc or PhD position in my Metabolic Research Group within the TARGETWISE project. I can highly recommend Riga, it is a beautiful city with very good living conditions.

And still probably the proceedings will go through our free and transparent peer review system!

The nature of Neolithic society is one of the most debated topics in archaeology–a debate that's almost impossible to settle w/ conventional methods alone. Now, new DNA data from a site in Turkey called Çatalhöyük points to a significant role for women: www.science.org/content/arti... @science.org

On 25 June 1997, pyroclastic flows from a sudden dome collapse at Soufrière Hills devastated several villages. 19 lives were lost, and 5 others severely injured. We remember them today and reflect on the impact of this tragic event in our shared history. #Montserrat #SHV30

1️⃣/ Fascinating new piece in @cenmag.bsky.social on the hunt for dinosaur proteins! The 2005 Schweitzer T. rex collagen reports remain contentious after 20 years. Recent Edmontosaurus data adds fuel to the debate, but I cofess I remains cautiously sceptical. #palaeoproteomics

🧵 Thread: 1️⃣/ Caroline Tokarski delivering a masterclass on how #massspec revolutionises our understanding of cultural materials! Her slide perfectly encapsulates the multifaceted insights we can extract - from artist intention to societal context. #teammasspec #heritage

Alba Alvarez Martin from @rijksmuseum.bsky.social presenting "Making Mass Spectrometry Accessible in Cultural Institutions". The historical irony isn't lost as Rembrandt's anatomy lesson is juxtaposed with #teammasspec in an amphitheatre designed for anatomical dissection.
