You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Fun news! @gcbias.bsky.social and I are teaching a 2-week online population genetics workshop this summer to raise money for the Center for Population Biology at UC Davis. We're trying to gauge interest -- please fill this out if you might be interested! And please share broadly!

We're excited to be recruiting an NSF funded postdoc to work in the Villanea lab at CU Boulder. We're specifically interested in candidates who want to work at the intersection of population genetics, ancient DNA, and computer modeling. Please RT jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDeta...

Professorship in Early Hominin Evolution at the University of Tübingen: uni-tuebingen.de/universitaet... Application deadline: 11/03/2026

Honestly, yeah, LFG. Maybe this is meant to feed biotech AI slop but we can outcompete them with good scientific proposals. If you’re interested in a post-doc applying neural networks to better integrate ancient DNA to demographic models reach out to me. I’ll help you tool the application for “AI”.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

For those of you who were not able to attend our #AaRCademy workshop on Demographic History analysis with the great Pablo Librado, the recording will be available on our YT channel today at 12:00 CET though this link: youtu.be/41YNBIiFZl0

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

So many feelings today but this gives me hope 😩😥✊🏽😡🔥

This is why it matters that many of us study Ancestors and try to reconstruct their lives. Understanding the past and thinking about it matters for how we live, think, vote and make decisions today. If it wasn’t important to understand history they wouldn’t be trying to erase it before our eyes.

UMN Anthro PhD student Jaime Zolik and Prof. Maria Nieves Colón @mitopr.bsky.social were interviewed on Ep. 66 the @anthrobiology.bsky.social podcast about their aDNA research with community partners in Peru. Listen now: anthrobiology.com/episodes/ #umncla #umnproud

In a country where the race, gender, ethnicity, and SES of individuals dramatically shape their lived experience and health outcomes, claiming that medicine is blind to these factors is malpractice! Even if it’s complicated, it’s still important to think about diversity, equity, and inclusion!

Come be my colleague! The CU Natural History Museum has a welcoming community, great leadership, and connections with the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. I believe museum faculty also get a summer stipend, in addition to the 9 month salary listed here.

My PhD student Jaime Zolik and I were interviewed on the @anthrobiology.bsky.social podcast about our aDNA 🧬💀work with community partners in Peru. Have a listen to hear what Jaime & our lab have been up to! 🤓 Thx Gaby for inviting us on! @umnanth.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/27ys...

Cool work from my colleagues @mpi-eva-leipzig.bsky.social just dropped! Merlin Szymanski, @janetk.bsky.social et al. developed quicksand, a fast, accurate and beautifully designed Nextflow pipeline for taxonomic classification of mammalian mtDNA from ancient sediment DNA. doi.org/10.1093/molb...

I taught (and co-taught) a course on human population genetics from 2000-2024. Having retired, I'm now making all the course materials public: github.com/alanrogers/p... #popgen #evbio

The NSF Bio Anthro Program DDRIG, Cultural Anthrpology DDRIG, and Archaeology DDRIG have all been archived (as of yesterday afternoon). Please speak with your grad students and plan accordingly. To say I am angry and depressed about this is an understatement.

we made a tool! ybyra is a lightweight, flexible Y-chromosome haplogroup caller. It is faster, easier to tune and more robust than other tools particularly for low-coverage or ancient DNA data. And it has lots of detailed output – including plots! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

All NSF SBE DDRIG solicitations have been archived and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Grants currently submitted will be processed, but as always, chances of funding remain very low. This means anyone aiming for the upcoming deadline will not be able to submit. 1/3

The 2026 EMBL symposium 'Reconstructing the human past using ancient and modern genomics' is live with a fantastic invited speaker lineup! Abstract deadline 9 June. If work is ongoing, plan for Heidelberg in September😉. Organised by Maanasa Raghavan, @matejahajdi.bsky.social, Choongwon Jeong & me.

#OTD 19 September 1991, walkers in the high Ötztal alps on the Italian border, found a body melting out of the ice. It turned out to be the remains of a c.5200 year old man preserved with all his kit. Of course, it was essential to replicate him in Playmobil. 1🧵 #PlaymobilÖtzi #PlaymobilInfestation
