This week, @CommsBio publishes the story of the death of St. Louis Individual, a 23 male whose human remains can be found in the Terry Collection. They were failed systemic racism and structural violence in 1930s Missouri.

No one more deserving for the inaugural J. Mary Taylor award then @shrewangel ! #asmtucson

New paper out today with fantastic colleagues @ShaniMangola @anthro_justino @schnorrax 💫💫 Community inclusion & community based participatory research are central - especially when collecting biological samples #microbiome #ethics #community #ScienceTwitter #Anthro

Getting super excited about summer in Maine thanks to @OliviaLeeOlson's blog about our @CnsrvPaleoNetwk work on shifting baselines 🦫🦴🧬🦦 !!! What will we learn from local communities about fur-bearing mammals? ecoevocommunity.nature.com/posts/sea-mink… @CourtneyHofman

I’m thrilled to have contributed to this new paper on Indigenous oyster fisheries published in Nature Communications. Check it out. nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

How did Indigenous people shape coastal ecosystems and steward coastal resources across centuries and millennia? @NMNH anthropologist Torben Rick and @TempleUniv anthropologist Leslie Reeder-Myers answer in a new global study of Indigenous oyster fisheries published in @Nature.

Happy to see this paper is out. I really enjoyed working with @mitoPR @LabDavalos @AlexisMychajliw @CookeSiobhan and many others to discuss this important topic

Today's doodle! Did #Arctodus ever reach Santarosae (big island of which California's Channel Islands are remnants) and hunt the pygmy #mammoths that lived there? An Arctodus bone was found there but, was it from a bear that died there, or taken by humans or even by some raptor?

Our new paper out today in @PNASNews: Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene sites in the montane forests of New Guinea yield early record of cassowary hunting and egg harvesting pnas.org/content/118/40…

It was great to work on this with @mekisus @shrewangel @s2shirazi and led by Dawn Reding.

WaHoooo! Everyone join me in congratulating the newest CCG @zoolab1 graduate, Dr. Madhvi V @EvoBabble on her PhD defense today! She did an absolutely amazing job and I can't wait to see what she discovers next in her PRFP #NSFfunded 🥳🧬

@jfy133 Congratulations!!!

🚨 The final publication (🔓) of my PhD is now out: pnas.org/content/118/20… We used #aDNA from dental calculus of howler monkeys, gorillas, chimpanzees, #Neanderthals, and ancient and modern humans to understand more about the evolution of the human oral #microbiome! 🧵1/15

Everyone please congratulate my friend, Dr. @LillyDParker for more than successfully defending her dissertation!!
