El procés de borsa de professorat associat/sustitut de la @ub.edu no podria ser més amigable: a part del fet de rebre une email en què tens una setmana i escaig, el document amb les acreditacions sols pot pesar 2Mb. Impossible i molts mèrits hauran de quedar sense acreditar. Publicar

🔬 RECERCA #IAUB | 🧵 Nova campanya arqueològica a les illes Mariannes! La Dra. Natàlia Moragas Segura ( #ERAAUB ) participa com a codirectora de les excavacions al jaciment de Palasyo, un edifici clau de l’administració colonial espanyola. #Arqueologia #Recerca #IllesMariannes #ArqueologiaColonial

A paper in Nature reports the discovery of fossilized remains of an extinct hominin called Paranthropus in north-eastern Ethiopia, dating to about 2.6 million years ago, which expands the number of hominin species known to have been in the region at that time. go.nature.com/4r37ceu 🏺 🧪

We've made our 3D scans of these Drimolen postcranial specimens available in the online archive at The Human Fossil Record. Hopefully access to these fossils contributes well to other studies of early hominin postcranial anatomy & variation. Meanwhile, fieldwork & analysis at Drimolen continue. 9/

Long time ago, in a region Afar Afar away...

I am really excited to share news of this new jaw...until now Paranthropus had been conspicuously absent from the Afar. Fieldwork at Mille-Logya is not easy, and this fossil is the result of years of very hard work (and a lot of days of dry screening by our team)! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
