How the #Slavic #migration reshaped Central & Eastern #Europe. Ancient #DNA provides new insights into early medieval communities. Study @nature.com by an intl. team led by Joscha Gretzinger, @zhofmanova.bsky.social & Johannes Krause. #HistoGenes More: tinyurl.com/msuys4mu & doi.org/10.1038/s415...

A study led by @zhofmanova.bsky.social @mpi-eva-leipzig.bsky.social used ancient DNA to investigate the spread of Slavic language and culture 1,500 years ago. “This wasn’t a migration of elites, or a few male warriors,” 1 co-author says. “This was the migration of an entire population.” @science.org

🚨 Excited to share our new paper! 🧬 #aDNA from Sint-Truiden (BE) reveals 1,000 years of change from diverse medieval roots including Scottish and Irish ancestry to modern Limburg-like genetics. 🧫 Yersinia pestis found in 5 of 58 XIV-century burials. #AcademicSky link.springer.com/article/10.1...

At #Woodstockbio2025 #selforganization is key. If you plan to do something special at the #YMCAcampsite, go for a talk & work the #advertisement of the #event into your ~5 minutes of fame in #Prague - after the #walkupsong #TheConferenceToEndAllConferences (what a hashtag🤷🏻‍♂️) woodstock.img.cas.cz

Science delivers! Time & time again scientists make unexpected & important discoveries when following their curiousity! That's why we're organizing Woodstock Night Science, a reimagined conference to inspire us to new ideas. June 10-13 woodstock.img.cas.cz Join us! #TheConferenceToEndAllConferences

What defines ethnicity: culture or genetics?🧬 ERC Grantees found that two Avar cemeteries had nearly identical artifacts but distinct DNA—proving culture and genetics don’t always align!📜 👉 buff.ly/3Dbkbrr #FrontierResearch @maxplanck.de Eötvös Loránd University Austrian Academy of Sciences IAS

Why we do what we do in ERC Syg HistoGenes where I am coordinating archaeogenetic analyses. Even when it is long over, I will always be grateful to have been a part of this project. What a privilege to work with the HistoGenes team, I've learned so much.. buff.ly/3Dbkbrr
