🦙🧬Pleased to present our new paper out in @natcomms.nature.com 🧬🦙 Palaeogenomics of early camelid use in the Atacama Desert (Chile). We used ancient DNA to revisit animals being hunted/herded >3,000 years ago. Manuscript here: rdcu.be/eVwwl #aDNA #popgen Thread below🧵 Reposts appreciated :)

Congratulations to the new cohort of 28 EMBO Young Investigators! They are joining an international network of more than 800 life scientists – Welcome! Read the press release here: https://www.embo.org/press-releases/twenty-eight-group-leaders-become-embo-young-investigators/

What's that? 5 ancient doggy papers in 10 days is too many dogs? Can I interest you in some cats? Perhaps a complete retelling of cat domestication, dispersal, and replacement across Eurasia? As you wish! Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Cell Genomics www.cell.com/cell-genomic...

I had a wonderful time with the genomics undergrad students and researchers from #UNAM (my alma mater). Last week I participated in the Frontiers in Genomics seminar series and got to talk about ancient maize genomics. Thanks #CCG-UNAM and #LCG-UNAM for the invite! I would do it every week!

Very excited that the first chapter of my PhD is now published! 🧬 We analysed ancient DNA and biomarkers directly from artefacts, showing how birch tar provides insights into past societies, technology, resources, and health. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

🔁 Please share - we remind the SMBE community that the Call for Symposia for SMBE2026 in Copenhagen is open. We invite you to submit a symposium proposal to help shape the scientific content of our annual meeting. 🗓️ Deadline: October 15th More information: smbe2026.org/symposia #SMBE2026

PhD Studentship alert! I'm looking for a motivated student to work here in Vienna @vdsee-univie.bsky.social on my ERC grant "DISPERSE". It's a fulltime scholarship (working in 14C and #archsci in Palaeolithic archaeology in Eurasia. Details in the link below! jobs.univie.ac.at/job/Universi...

@official-smbe.bsky.social is coming to Copenhagen next year! 🇩🇰 And we’re looking for your symposium ideas to help us shape the content of this meeting. Submit your proposal now (link 👇). The deadline is October 15th. #SMBE2026

So, I just learned that a grad student in my lab, Abby Albright, does this incredible #SciComm thing, Molecular Minute on Tik-Tok. Its great, so check it out! www.tiktok.com/@molecular.m...

New rock dove paper!🕊️ Bit by bit, we are disentangling their evolutionary history and adding evidence to recognise the elusive West African rock doves as a different species *please ignore the little typo in the title, livia should be lowercase @trstngnthr.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/ece3...

Are you interested in doing a PhD in Copenhagen? Interested in studying Neanderthals and Denisovans which live on in our genomes? Than you are more than welcome to apply to join my group starting Jan 2026 :) candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI... Please reach out if you have any questions!
