Graduated Master’s with Distinction, and received the External Examiner’s Commendation Award- thank you to everyone who supported me along the way, and helped make this a reality!

@AmberJCollings @BABAO_info @KeeleUniversity Thanks Amber!

@cglawrence18 @BABAO_info @KeeleUniversity Thank you @cglawrence18 for sharing your research, loved hearing about the cheeky hedgehogs!! Great job 👏🎉

Home again after a busy week of conferences! Huge thanks to everyone at @BABAO_info and @KeeleUniversity for making #BABAO2024 such a success, and to everyone who came along to chat about taphonomy with me! 💀🦔

#BABAO2024 25th Annual Conference is here! Welcome all to a weekend of amazing talks and awesome people 💀🦴🩻🦷🔬🐒🦍

Registration for the study day in Forensic Imaging is now open! Sign up here: lnkd.in/eMm3aetz It is a hybrid event, so join online or in person.

Our work on micro-CT scanning of 3D printed weapons with West Midlands Police has been featured in the episode “Untraceable Guns” on BBC2 Forensics: The Real CSI. To be involved with this emerging treat was hugely enlightning. Watch it on catch up here: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

A short article published today about our work in the Forensic Centre @wmgwarwick 🩻🔬 bbc.com/news/articles/…

Please consider signing this petition to save anthropology at the University of Kent. ⁦@UniKentSAC⁩ is a fantastic department and studying there had a huge impact on my life. It would be a massive loss to see this programme close change.org/p/save-anthrop…

Applications for BABAO research grants are now open!👇🏻

Don't forget BABAO offers funding for research projects 🧬🐒🦍🩻🦷💀 Small or big, for academic or commercial purposes, we can fund it! 🔗 babao.org.uk/grants-and-pri…

And that’s a wrap on @2023Babao! A great weekend talking all things bones, finished with a touching memoir by @carolyn_rando to the late Tony Waldron. Already looking forward to seeing what next year brings!

@Jem_Pilling You smashed it, congratulations! A really interesting presentation (and no one would ever have guessed it was your first time doing one!)

What a fantastic day at the @2023Babao conference! So many amazing presentations and some really exciting research sitting at the forefront of anthropology 💀🦷🩻

@stevoallain Yep, couldn’t agree more!

These Mexican 'aliens' that seem to be everywhere, why would they have a similar skeletal structure and DNA to our own if they were from a distant world? Far more likely that they were made by ancient people (if they are 1000 years old), than originate among the stars.

Now that the paperwork is officially finished, I’m delighted to announce that soon I’ll be starting a PhD with the forensics team at @wmgwarwick researching the use of micro-CT for human bone trauma analysis. Watch this space for updates on my research and PhD journey!

Days on from the announcement and I still can’t understand how sending irreplaceable hominin remains to space received ethical or scientific approval. As Jelena eloquently states, we can only hope that this action is reconsidered

The Webb telescope has detected carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18 b, a potentially habitable world over 8 times bigger than Earth. Webb’s data suggests the planet might be covered in ocean, with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere: go.nasa.gov/3sGKNLe

Vegan sushi, dinosaur skeletons, new book finds, and a fantastic evening at tonight’s @themonkeycage - this is shaping up to be a great week! Though like the last two shows I’ve been lucky to attend, I feel like the conversation could’ve gone on for at least a few more hours!

Tickets sales extended to the 4th of September! So there are still 5 days left to register for BABAO 2023! Don't forget, you can join remotely from anywhere in the world by buying an online ticket. :) crando8.wixsite.com/babao-2023/reg… @BABAO_info @KatieAHemer @carolyn_rando @rebeccacwatts
