Just migrated from that platform formerly known as Twitter, so if you got a follow means I was likely following you over there. Nice to see see you're over here as well!

Rest in Peace, Jane 💔

Hoy toca concierto de The Lumineers en el Wikiiiiii!!!! 💜🎵

Next Tuesday (6May) I'll be speaking at @palaeopercs.bsky.social about my research on bone morphology and the #3D methods I develop (or help develop)! If you want to see some 3D bones 💀🦴🩻, you can join (discover how in the thread 👇) 🧪 #science 🏺 #anthropology #primates #PaeoAnth #HumanEvolution

Next week at #PalaeoPERCS we will be joined by Alessio Veneziano (@aveneziano.bsky.social ) from the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, France. Sign up here: paleopercs.com/participate/ (1/4)

New #OpenAccess article alert! @paleonicole.bsky.social led this first description of a partial right #Neandertal hipbone from El Sidrón, Spain that expands the range of morphological variation in Neandertals. Read it here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #Paleoanthropology #TeamPelvis

Pelvis neandertal El Sidrón SD-1663: rasgos similares con otros neandertales, pero también afinidades con Homo anteriores, como ER 3228 (H. erectus) ➡️ Rango más amplio de variación pélvica dentro de los neandertales de lo que se conocía previamente. 👏 @paleonicole.bsky.social et al

Our paper about the first description and comparative analyses of the partial Neanderthal hipbone of El Sidrón (Asturias, Spain) is published!!. Please, reach out if you need to access to the PDF! authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... Enjoy!

This is a weird request, but anyone in Baltimore area want to help me collect tap water samples this summer? I can give you some vials, you go to a couple restaurants/grocery stores/public water fountains and we get some critical science done for forensic work

Hi there! Who is going to #AABA2025 in Baltimore?

ICArEHB is accepting expressions of interest for PhD topics, including a project led by @ricardomgodinho.bsky.social and me: 📌 "Augmenting palaeodemographic analysis: Geometric morphometrics and machine learning based sex estimation of mandibles" Interested? 📩 [email protected] | [email protected]

Yesterday we had an awesome day in UNESCO World Heritage Preda-Bergun route, in Switzerland 🇨🇭. This was thanks to the Institute of Evolutionary Medicine, UZH. Snow, sledging, unimaginable views, good company and a lot of fun! 😍 Fully recharged for the next few weeks!!

🤩This #Friday, we are excited to announce the 5th VCWAP program! 🌟 The full program is now available on our official website ⬇️ awap-science.org/en/vcwap-2025/ #conference #program #archeology #paleontology

Hi everyone! The Yearbook of Biological Anthropology is now on BlueSky! Please give the journal a follow: @yearbookbioanth.bsky.social

Gracias @mcotsar.bsky.social por tu compromiso y por esta oportunidad para visibilizar lo que nadie nombra el #11F. Ayer fue el día en el que las instituciones se limitaron a compartir la foto de investigadoras, “celebrando” no sabemos qué…donde cada vez hay menos espacio para la reivindicación.

The International Day of Women and Girls in Science is always a bittersweet one: it is time for awareness of the benefits of gender equality to advance science, but when we are promoting scientific careers... what careers are those?

Encantada de haber contribuido a esta iniciativa por @mcotsar.bsky.social . ¡Gracias por darnos voz, siempre! Es importante hablar alto, claro y sin miedo de estos problemas y de nuestras experiencias.

My colleagues Lumila Menéndez and I are organizing a survey on data sharing and open science practices and impacts on research, in Bioanth and related fields. If you are interested in participating, please send me an email and I will share the link with you!

An absolute pleasure to contribute to this project led by @paleonicole.bsky.social and @liabetti.bsky.social. Pubic symphysis fusion in primates is fascinating and complicated, and studying it is shedding light on the 'obstetrical dilemma'.

Check out our latest work with @liabetti.bsky.social @ltbuck.bsky.social and other colleagues! 👇

A nice and restful Saturday visiting the ZSL London Zoo! I have always this double feeling of loving seeing the animals (as a biologist) but also feeling pity for them. They seemed to be well cared but still...

HOUSE NEEDED! 📣📣📣 Just throwing it out there. Anybody has an apartment 🏠 to rent in Paris 🇫🇷? I have to move there shortly with my family for work. I tried everything but the real estate bureaucracy is brutal, especially for foreigners! Social media, do some magic 🪄🧙‍♀️!

A partial skeleton was unearthed in 1961 during excavations led by Hisashi Suzuki at Amud Cave, Israel. This individual lived sometime between 65,000 and 50,000 years ago. Anthropologists have classified the skeleton as a Neandertal.

My abstract for the VCWAP 2025 has been accepted as a talk!! I'll be speaking for the first time about the work I am leading on the first description of a partial Neanderthal hipbone found in El Sidrón (Asturias, Spain) dating to ~49ka. Registration is FREE and the event is ONLINE!!!!

Thanks to the 1000 people who decided I was worth following! A new intro is in order. I am a #BioAnth working on skeletal #morphology 🦴💀🩻, #Primates and #HumanEvolution, #Ecology 🌍 and passionate about #3Dimaging, #programming, #Rstats 👨‍💻 and anything #science 🧪! I post accordingly!

Registered!!! I would not miss it!!!

This week I had the opportunity to speak about challenges in reconstructing hominin pelvic remains, at the University of Cambridge. This was possible thanks to the organization of an AMAZING workshop by my dear colleagues @juliaramendi.bsky.social and @mikelarlegi.bsky.social (1/n).

I had an amazing tour of some Cambridge colleges today, all thanks to @jclark997.bsky.social —truly the best guide one could ask for! 🏛️✨ #Cambridge #Grateful

We are in the second day of the "From Anatomy to Behaviour" workshop, at the University of Cambridge. Starting with Dr. Ameline Bardo speaking about how challenging is studying biomechanics of the hand! This research is partially funded by @bioanth.org Cobb Professional Development grant!

#TeamPelvis on the way to Cambridge! Contributing to a workshop about ongoing research on postcranial evolution, organized by Dr. Julia Aramendi and Dr. Mikel Arlegi Learn more here! 👇 www.arch.cam.ac.uk/events/confe...

Resulta que hoy me entero de que hay una convocatoria abierta para una plaza de profesor ayudante doctor en el área de Prehistoria&Arqueología de la Universidad de Sevilla. La convocatoria se abrió el 23 de Diciembre. Me entero porque me la pasan, no porque la haya visto anunciada en ningún sitio...

I'm looking for #postdoc opportunities! 👷‍♂️⛏️ I’m a researcher specialising in #geoarchaeology, #sedimentology, and #taphonomy. With 40+ field seasons and a passion for site formation processes, I’m excited to bring my expertise to new collaborations. Complete CV below 👇#geology

17 fulls days of full rest come to their end! I did not do any work and slept until 11am every day, spent quality time with my loved ones, went to the theatre, cinema, nature, watched series that I love... In sumary, I took care of myself and of the people I love. Because (1/2)

#CTpost #1 🩻💀 Inside your cranium there are two large holes, one on each side of your nasal cavity 👃: the maxillary sinuses! We are not sure why they evolved, for warming air, biting mechanics, to make the cranium lighter or for other reasons (1/2) 🧪🏺 📷 and info at doi.org/10.1111/ocr....

First hike of the year in Embalse de Puentes Viejas (Buitrago de Lozoya) 🌳🌿 #Nature #Relax

Otro año más que se va, amigas y amigos. Espero que hayáis tenido un buen 2024 y la fuerza de voluntad os posea para que cumpláis vuestros propósitos en 2025. Siempre es un placer leeros por aquí o por otras plataformas. Espero que siga siendo así muchos años más. ¡Feliz 2025!

A por la penúltima peli del año! 🎬📽️

Now might be a good time to remind everyone the benefits of publishing your research in a society-owned journal rather than a journal owned by a big publishing company.

Some journals already asking these people to join their editorial boards. Other journals already quickly inviting people to submit their works there. Folks, can we just STOP and THINK? What a crazy paper factory we live in!!!!

Elsevier is a company, run by capitalists like all privately owned companies, that prioritizes profits over workers (editors and researchers) and puts publicly-funded research behind paywalls. The problem is capitalism, and we need to start naming it directly and openly.
