Rachel M. Winter, PhD

Very excited to share that my #MSCA fellowship application for my project FINS (Finding the Identifiable Species in Shagreen) has been successful! With FINS I will study marine #shagreen objects for insights into the #historicalecology and exploitation of #elasmobranchs!🦈

🚨Registration has been opened and a preliminary programme are now available on our website for those of you keen to join us in person or virtually on the 26th of August for the pre-ISBA PAASTA Conference! paasta-community.github.io/events/2025/08…

1/4 New recommendation: Dekker et al. & @ZandraSelina (2025) Open science, communication, and collaboration for the future of palaeoproteomics. V4 peer-reviewed and recommended by @PCI_Archaeology doi.org/10.5281/zenodo…. #Archaeology @paastacommunity

For additional findings (I’m sure you want to know more about specific trophic groups and groupers🐟😉) and details, be sure to check out our paper!

By using an isotopic niche space approach, we show that modern, indigenous Mediterranean fishes today consume a wider array of trophic resources, have less trophic plasticity, and experience higher intra-group competition for trophic resources than their ancient counterparts.

Happy to share our latest publication, “Pre-Lessepsian isotopic niche spaces: using paleoecological proxies to assess the impact of ongoing bioinvasions on fishes in the eastern Mediterranean Sea” in @MeditMarSci and available OA here: tinyurl.com/3pzuhx53

✨Our next talk is this week by the brilliant Alexandra Burnett, see you this Wednesday at 16:00 CET✨

Last week I concluded my year in Toulouse (stay tuned for those papers 😉) and this week I've kicked off my @NEHgov fellowship at Winterthur Museum to begin working on #marine #shagreen! Still settling in this week but very excited for the next few months here! 🦈

ERC-Funded Postdoctoral Researcher position in palaeoproteomics!!!! 🔊 We invite applications for a full-time postdoctolar researcher position of 12 months duration (with a possibility to extend) under the ERC Consolidator Grant MILWAYS project euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/313804

I got back from Egypt this week and of course I can't go anywhere without keeping an eye out for #MarineShagreen so here are a couple of the gorgeous pieces I saw at the Abdeen Palace Museum in Cairo!

We're recruiting: 1 PhD student, 2 postdocs and 2 lab assistants! Application deadlines in January. More details here: phytopathology.uni-kiel.de/en/open-positi…

Hoping to see many of you this afternoon at 16:00 CET!

@LisetteKootker Exciting indeed!! Congratulations!! 😁

🌟 Exciting news! Introducing our brand-new Isotope Archaeology & Forensics Lab at VU Amsterdam! It is part of the Netherlands Isotope GEochemistry Laboratory (NIGeL), enabling cutting-edge research in Earth sciences, archaeology, forensics, and cultural heritage.

🏢✨Interested in hosting the next Oceans Past XI Conference in 2026? Submit your expression of interest by December 6th to info@oceanspast.org #Oceanspast #conference

Really looking forward to this talk next week!!

New species alert! Four species of Pollimyrus are now described: P. ibalazambai, P. krameri, P. vanneeri, and P. weyli. Check them and all other information on Pollimyrus spp. we gathered here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jf…

@chris_tt_cheung Congratulations!! 🖤✨✨

Super honoured to be given an Early Career Award by the RGC 🤩🤩 Took my mum as my plus one to the award ceremony 🥰

Sending this from a train on my way back to Toulouse after a spectacular couple of days in Paris @palaeocdf for #IZAZ 2024! It was so nice to convene with many of the folks working with #ZooMS (and to get to talk about fish and #MarineHistoricalEcology 🐟🦈)!

✨Lucky for all of you that either missed our first #PAASTACommunity conference or wanted to relive it, the first batch of talks from the day are now live on our YouTube with more to come! ✨ youtube.com/playlist?list=…
