Elon Musk pusht die Pro-Kreml Parteien AfD und BSW im For You Feed von Twitter. Sie tauchen öfter im For You Feed auf als ihrem Anteil entspricht. Die Forscher haben dafür Test-Accounts erstellt, die allen Politikern auf X folgen. BSW und AfD waren krass überrepräsentiert.

My wife's, Anna Patova's first PhD paper is finally out in Scientific Reports. Population genomics of deep see sponge, Vazella pourtalesii. Very proud! doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

Out today in @sciencemagazine, we've journeyed into our shared history with Neandertals by analyzing over 300 present-day and ancient modern humans, including 59 individuals who lived between 2,000 and 45,000 years ago. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Today is a very big day for our research group, with two of my students, @arevsumer and @IasiLeonardo publishing papers on the same day! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… nature.com/articles/s4158… #Neanderthals #Geneflow

Interested in sedaDNA, aDNA, or forensic genetics? Join me in Copenhagen! I'm hiring a PhD and a Postdoc to start in 2025. Application deadline 28 November employment.ku.dk/phd/?show=1626… employment.ku.dk/all-vacancies/…

The deadlines for ISBA11 are OUT! Make sure to mark them in your calendar and to look at our website (link in bio) so you don’t miss out! #Archaeology #Biomoleculararchaeology #ISBA #ISBA11 #ISBAconference #archaeologists

Das Bildungsministerium von Bettina Stark-Watzinger stellte eine Liste von kritischen Wissenschaftler*innen zusammen, weil sie einen offenen Brief unterzeichnet hatten. Das zeigen neue Dokumente, die wir veröffentlichen: fragdenstaat.de/blog/2024/06/2…

Very happy that the new paper on imputation and selection in ancient Japan, from myself, @shige_nakagome and our collaborators has finally been published in iScience @iScience_CP : cell.com/iscience/fullt… Here’s a thread of the highlights:

It's been a long time coming :) Incredibly happy and grateful to the @maxplanckpress for the opportunity to come back 'home' to the @MPI_EVA_Leipzig to continue working on #Neandertals and #Palaeolithic humans! 💀❤️🧪

In a collaboration between @M_Chintalapati ,@SkovLaurits , Alba Bosoms Mesa, @MatejaHajdi , @benmpeter and @moorjani_priya , we've journeyed into our shared history with Neandertals by analyzing over 300 genomes spanning 50,000 years. A thread 🧵🧬 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

When you finish a PhD in computer science, they take you to a special room and explain that you must never use recursion in real life. Its only purpose is to make programming hard for undergrads.

@StephPeyregne , @VivSlon and I decided to try and summarize everything we’ve learned about Denisovans since their discovery just over a decade ago. It started out as a Friday morning discussion group and grew into this review, Here’s to the next decade - so much still to learn!

Ancient DNA retrieved from a finger bone in 2010 led to the identification of the #Denisovans. Check out our review @NatureRevGenet of what we learnt over the past decade about this now extinct human group: rdcu.be/dmq22
