I have funding for a 2-year dry-lab postdoc to join our team @humanevouu.bsky.social 🧪 (Deadline Oct 21st) The project will utilize modern and #aDNA data from humans and sheep to study environmental adaptation (including method development and simulations). Please share! www.uu.se/en/about-uu/...

A small thing but this is probably the only point in my career my extended family will half know what I do (thanks to the Meath Chronicle).

I will be recruiting two PhDs for my ERC Project HERDPATH - let's discover out how livestock and pathogens evolved together using #aDNA. Projects will be animal or pathogen focused but will be in dialogue. Details at my quaint website below. Deadline 3rd October. kevingdaly.github.io

What a week! 🎉 Big thanks to @isba11.bsky.social for hosting an incredible ISBA conference — so well organized and full of great science.

Thrilled to share our study sequencing genetic data from tropical mammoths 🏝️🦣. First DNA recovered from Columbian mammoths southern than USA shorturl.at/xjIvy. Thanks to all collaborators, you were key to this success! See below a fantastic note covering the paper by the great @rpocisv.bsky.social 👇

The science is amazing and what’s even more impressive is Ice lollies at #ISBA11 💕💕💕 😂😂😂

Shameless promotion from #isba11 - I'll be hiring PhDs to start early 2026 (plus postdocs starting later), using #adna to study livestock and pathogen coevolution, particularly looking at inbreeding and immune gene evolution! Contact me at kevin[at]palaeome.org, full ad to come. Please share!

ISBA11 starts tomorrow, and we have just one question for you... are you ready for it? #ISBA11 #biomoleculararchaeology #turin #Archaeology #Italy #conference #AreYouReady @isbarchaeology.bsky.social @archaeobiomics.bsky.social

This package is a game changer for population genetics. You can do pretty much all of the “usual” analyses, in R, and at a super fast speed 😍😍😍 So thanks mainly Evie and Andrea for creating this for all of us!

2) Scientific progress is not made by a few lone geniuses working on a few big questions. It's made by many independent teams each chipping away at the boundaries of knowledge a little, which sometimes leads to world changing discoveries but often just adds a little to the body of knowledge.
