Please Repost! We are in an era of huge gains in technology, discovery and data "sequestration". We need to be honest about what's happening and the terrible outcomes that could happen if we continue the 533 years of colonial extraction. www.science.org/content/arti...

@gnomoboleto.bsky.social hosted a super fun owl pellet workshop today! Owl pellets are regurgitated balls of indigestible material like bones, fur, and feathers. We found a few different voles and frogs in ours today.

What a course!🧬🦣 Thanks to this amazing team of instructors @claudiafontsere.bsky.social @jazminrm.bsky.social & @hernmoral.bsky.social for delivering such a great first edition of the #Museomics course. Thanks to everyone who has joined us this week and good luck with your data!💯

@isba11.bsky.social !!

Did you catch @kaaviya.bsky.social's vole talk? @aarc-community.bsky.social @isbarchaeology.bsky.social

Our phd student @kaaviya.bsky.social will give a flash talk on #OrkneyVoles. We apologies in advance for all the terrible puns she will make. It is inevitable 🥲

As part of the 4EU+ spring school we put together a policy brief on ecosystem management. The need for an appropriate disturbance regime as part of management is the crux of it. More info here! www.hce.uni-heidelberg.de/en/education...

From the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center. Apart from the overwhelmingly largest cause of population declines - habitat loss and destruction - what are the other big killers of birds? A reason to consider keeping cats inside.🪶🌎

Giving back the Koh-i-Noor isn’t a straightforward argument. Here's why. A new blog post based on what I learned from working behind the scenes in UK museums. Restitution is messy, necessary, and long overdue. purebyheartsinnedbysoulblog.wordpress.com/behind-the-g...

Next stop, Creswell crags!

Was at the National Museum of Scotland to pick up some vole samples and got a tour of their inventory collections. Absolutely amazed by what’s behind the scenes!

Uttryck just published my piece on how genetic ancestry tests have unexpectedly disrupted the notion of nationalism. Pick up a hardcopy in thier office at Uppsala University! www.uttryckmagazine.com/2025/04/28/g...

During last week’s #LPCGJournalClub, PhD students @kaaviya.bsky.social and Gabriela Damentka shared highlights from the policy brief they're developing with 4EU+ Spring School Collegio Futuro. How do we incorporate disturbance regimes into ecosystem restoration and management strategies?

This was such a fun event to organise. Same time next year?

The modern Indian women have been told they can do it all. But what they aren't told is they are expected to do it alone. Here's a new post on feminism in urban India - an insidious form of oppression. purebyheartsinnedbysoulblog.wordpress.com/the-burden-o...

The relationship our generation has with modern and contemporary art is often a disconnect. While the elite invest millions, the majority of us struggle to see their value. But why does the contemporary art trend not appeal to us? purebyheartsinnedbysoulblog.wordpress.com/the-distance...

We are wrapping up an incredible week of Landscape Genomics at the University of Łódź! 🎉 Huge thanks to our amazing instructors and the highly motivated students who joined us. Together, we explored how genetic diversity interacts with the environment, mastering state-of-the-art methods and tools.🧬🌍

This has unexpectedly turned out to be my most popular blog post. Also a great sign that the younger generation is in fact ready to step away from the caste system. purebyheartsinnedbysoulblog.wordpress.com/stop-name-dr...

How relevant is the Rice Vs. Wheat comparison today where global food systems and lifestyle has distanced us from our agricultural roots? A new blog post :) purebyheartsinnedbysoulblog.wordpress.com/rice-vs-whea...
