Human origins research has unfortunately become an area where researchers bring out Tolkien-esque analogies, trading on the idea that races or species of hominins once coexisted. The existence of past diversity is real, but the analogies with hobbits and other fictional beings promote misconceptions

3-year postdoc with CODICUM project for a medievalist placed in Odense, Denmark! Special focus on Latin, palaeography & Dominican text and book history 📖😍🕵️ tinyurl.com/yrt4x8y3

And so my two years as chair of @paastacommunity.bsky.social have officially come to an end. I'm unbelievably proud of what we have accomplished so far, and can't wait to see what the brilliant new steering committee will do! ❤️

We're looking for researchers to join the INASIA project. If you're an archaeologist specializing in Stone Age research adept in advanced digital, geospatial, and analytical methods, you may want to join us as ERC-POSTDOC-FIELD: www.euraxess.pl/jobs/383000

🚨 Less than 1 month left! 🚨 Students in Europe — want to run your own proteomics experiment? Apply for the YPIC Student Proteomics Fund and get €5,000 to make it happen! 💡 Top 3 will present in Madrid (April 16, 2026)! 🗓️ Deadline: Nov 30, don’t miss your chance! #YPIC #Proteomics #StudentGrant

Frido is looking for new #palaeoproteomics people! I don't know much about the project, as I'll be leaving the group soon, but if someone has questions about working in Copenhagen/the Globe/the Welker Group, I'm happy to have an informal chat 😊

First successful detection of oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone in multiple human hard tissues, and their use as potential biomarkers of pregnancy

I can highly recommend working with this team! The positions also include some #palaeoproteomics and other lab-related work 😊

A hearty Denisovan stew ripe with stories of mixing and more mixing, even with a third more ‘archaic’ hominid. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

In a new paper led by Jiaqi Yang we trace the distribution of Denisovan introgressed DNA in ancient modern human genomes over time. www.cell.com/current-biol...

New paper is out! We and welkergroup.bsky.social show that proteins from resin-impregnated sediment blocks can reveal faunal diversity at the microscale. We thank and congratulate all coauthors! #paleoproteomics #geoarchaeology erc.europa.eu icarehb.bsky.social academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

Palaeoproteomics goes micro! In our latest publication, we demonstrate that taxonomic identifications can be obtained using shotgun proteomic approaches on microscopic bone fragments in resin-embedded sediment blocks!

📄 New paper 📣 of @matrixerc.bsky.social & @welkergroup.bsky.social! We show that microstratigraphic-scale #paleoproteomics works in intact sediments - opening new ways to explore ancient ecosystems & hominin behaviour 🌍🦴 @erc.europa.eu @icarehb.bsky.social 🔗 academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

Today the ICAZ-AGPM meeting begins - welcome to Copenhagen everyone, enjoy the sunshine 😊

Am I incredibly proud of this paper? Yes. Am I even more proud of the punny title? Also yes.

We're recruiting an avian ecologist working with @danc-eco.bsky.social and our AviArch team! More info: archaeobiomics.com/aviarch-avif...

And that's a wrap on Bone Diagenesis 2025! What a lovely conference, full of kind and brilliant scientists. Also the first time my talk has been so 🔥🔥🔥 it set off the fire alarm (I'm choosing to assume that was the reason) 😅

The ERC Project MATRIX explores one of the big questions in our past: how Neanderthals disappeared as modern humans spread across Europe. Meet the team behind it and learn more about our research on sediments, ancient DNA, proteins, lipids & human evolution 👉 matrix.icarehb.com

It's become tradition by now that I spend my birthday at a conference, this year at #BD2025 in Athens! I look forward to three days of fascinating talks - the programme looks absolutely incredible 😊

For those of you attending, or interested, in the 11th ICAZ-AGPM meeting (International Council for Archaeozoology-Archaeozoology, Genetics, Proteomics, and Morphometrics) October 14-17 in Copenhagen, the preliminary programme is available on our website! sites.google.com/palaeome.org...

Open postdoc position in in my lab in Berlin @mpiib-berlin.mpg.de. Join us to push the frontier in ancient microbial genomics. Please apply until Oct 17th. Reach out in case you have any questions. www.mpiib-berlin.mpg.de/2193291/job_...

News from Finland. A 9-year-old lost an especially good stick he’d had since he was 2. He hung up 20 posters. A few days later it was returned. It had been found by a 2-year-old, who wanted to keep it for herself, but her mother made her return it. She got toys, flowers and candy as a reward.

There may also be plans for a little @paastacommunity.bsky.social social get-together during the conference, in case someone needs an extra reason to sign up 😄

New paper out! doi.org/10.1111/1755... Dental calculus allows us to study the oral microbiome of wild #mammals, but it's still underutilised! 🦷🦠 In this study, we recover oral #microbiome data from the dental calculus of 32 mammal species and share recommendations for future research. #museomics

I can highly recommend for #palaeoproteomics ECRs to nominate themselves to the PAASTA steering committee, I have loved being part of shaping the direction of this community and supporting various ideas and projects for the last two years! 😊

The SMBE 2026 Annual Meeting in Copenhagen is open for symposium proposals from Sept 1 to Oct 15, 2025. Details at https://smbe2026.org/symposia/. Looking forward to your submissions! #conference

What an amazing time both @isba11.bsky.social and the @paastacommunity.bsky.social pre-ISBA conference last week were! Not entirely sure what I was doing here, but the rest of the time I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with old and new colleagues, listening to amazing science, and eating delicious food.

Following a marvelous time at ISBA11 and our PAASTA conference, we're back to sharing the work of our community with you here! @ipatramanis.bsky.social PAASTA talk from March about PaleoProPhyler a tool for #phylogenies from ancient proteins is now live on our YouTube youtu.be/2gVEQyinL4A

Thanks to @isbarchaeology.bsky.social and @isba11.bsky.social for a great conference. I mentioned the legacy of Henk Kars of VU who established ISBA Geoarchaeology closed. Here is the link to the petition to save Earth Sciences @vuamsterdam.bsky.social www.change.org/p/red-aardwe...

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

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!

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!

Today's the day! I can't wait to hear what all these amazing #palaeoproteomics ECRs are working on 🧪🏺

We have arrived in Turin for @isba11.bsky.social and are very excited for the week! Don't miss the following talks and posters from the Welker Group:

✨✨Reminder that we are hosting a (virtual and in-person) pre-ISBA conference✨✨ on the 26th of August (13:00-17:00 CET) which will include talks from members of our community and the PAASTA Annual General Meeting. Additional details can be found here: paasta-community.github.io/events/2025/...

I very much enjoyed #SMBE2025 in Beijing - huge thanks to the organizers, and I look forward to seeing everyone in Copenhagen next year!

For the last six months, we've had Lucas Siero from Utrecht University visiting us for an internship, working on some #palaeoproteomics method development. It was a joy to have you join our group Lucas, and good luck with the rest of your studies!

I am starting a computational lab at LIOS, Riga, Latvia, and going to recruit a few people. Please DM if you are interested in a postdoc or PhD position in my Metabolic Research Group within the TARGETWISE project. I can highly recommend Riga, it is a beautiful city with very good living conditions.

Fascinating paper led by @matduval64.bsky.social, Laura Martín-Francés and Rachel Wood, demonstrating the impact of mCT scanning on collagen preservation in bones and teeth and how it affects radiocarbon dating results. ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid...
