Two open lab technician positions at the MPI-EVA (based at the labs in Jena) – please share! eva.mpg.de/career/positio…

Links to our research are always appreciated, although this one highlights our disappointing oversight in exploring the udder-sucking vampire toads of the Balkans!

@LeonidasDav @Patrick_Wyman Same!

@Patrick_Wyman @Patrick_Wyman thank you so much for sharing our research!

This paragraph is a delightful adventure. The paper is fascinating as well, highly recommend (link here: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…) @LeonidasDav

dear journals: please stop with the NSA level password and verification checking. If someone is trying to hack my account to perform reviews, DON'T STOP THEM.

SO COOL! Congrats to @StockhammerPh and all other authors! This also made me discover the dearth of Egypt-related emojis nature.com/articles/s4158…

@ChrisStringer65 @LeMoustier I'm imagining the art critics got a hold of it. "Uninspired and derivative"

@LeMoustier I originally tweeted this before Christmas and mentioned some doubts surrounding the circumstances of its discovery and authenticity - some considered it too much a pastiche of the Willendorf find. But it has been studied carefully..

Astonishing! Stunning new find, nearly lost in flash floods. Striking similarities with other mid-Upper Palaeolithic examples, inc detail on head, posture, physique & red pigment, but the first from Romania, and its dating is quite young, c. 20ka.

Interested in #Palaeoproteomics & #Radiocarbon & #aDNA in the Palaeolithic? Apply for a fully-funded PhD position in my lab! Funds through @VDSEE_univie @VieLifesciences @univienna & @ERC_Research! Check it out here: vds-ecology-evolution.univie.ac.at/application/op…

Someone out there doing systematic investigation of aDNA recovery from cremated remains? 👀

🚨#CFP open! With our session, we hope to stimulate a fruitful dialogue on the future of #Mediterranean #bioarchaeological research. Case studies and methodological improvements are welcomed! Abstracts can be submitted at: eaa.klinkhamergroup.com/eaa2023/sessio… Hope to see you at #EAA2023!

📢📢 Join our vibrant research community @MPI_EVA_Leipzig! We're offering PhD and/or postdoc positions in areas incl. primate behavior & evolution; human adaptation, ecology & culture; human evolutionary genomics. Check it out & apply by 1st December 2022! eva.mpg.de/career/positio…

@tommyhigham Imagining them coming across "Wow" and getting that wow feeling

Imagining all these young people enjoying the Kate Bush "Running up that Hill" reboot coming across "Wuthering Heights" and getting the wow feeling from that amazing piece of music (recorded in a single take).

@FreilichSuzanne @MPI_EVA_Leipzig @StockhammerPh Happy to have you to complete our great little group! 🎉

Very happy to be back at @MPI_EVA_Leipzig, this time to start as a postdoc in a new interdisciplinary group with @AlMittnik and @StockhammerPh to work on a great new project about social belonging in prehistoric Greece!

Delighted to share our preprint on mobility in the Iron Age central Mediterranean. This was a dynamic period, with the expansion of Phoenician and Greek colonies and the rise of Carthage. Advances in seafaring enabled new networks of trade, colonization, and conflict.

Nearly as important as the science? Effectively communicating the science to diverse audiences. This is SO essential - especially when studying something as important as the genetic ancestry of past people #adna Begin here ⬇️ theconversation.com/ancient-dna-he…

Calling #zooarch and #ornithology Twitter to help me ID these bones. Found in northern Germany, about 8cm in length.

The programme to our online roundtable "Motherhood in archaeology & matricentric feminism" is now finished - 17 exciting 5-minute talks. Tune in on 15 February 2022! oeaw.ac.at/oeai/veranstal…

.@gulsahhdal and I are happy to announce the #UHPalaeoPopGen speakers for the spring term. We are looking forward to interesting webinars by @AlMittnik @GingerHowley @rfregel @paleogenomics We'll continue to use the same mailing list: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… (all times CET)

@KendraSirak @iosif_lazaridis Truly either-or like Greeks and Barbarians

@AlMittnik Blame @iosif_lazaridis : The western mind is highly trained in rational, dualistic thinking, a lineage that traces itself all the way back to the ancient Greeks. Some things in life truly are either-or, but many are both-and.

This is old but it's always irked me. Shouldn't it say "It is for both boys and girls" to make its point? #GrammarQuestion
