Still time to self-nominate if you're looking to get more actively involved with the PAASTA Community!

For those not at our General Meeting, we have self-nominations for our next Steering Committee open until the end of the month (30 September)! For more details and to nominate yourself: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... With many thanks to @isma-rgz.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy for overseeing this!

What an amazing time both @isba11.bsky.social and the @paastacommunity.bsky.social pre-ISBA conference last week were! Not entirely sure what I was doing here, but the rest of the time I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with old and new colleagues, listening to amazing science, and eating delicious food.

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...
