@danll7937 @CAgovernor @realDonaldTrump @GavinNewsom @grok what do you think about this?

California's energy grid has run entirely on clean energy for at least some part of nearly every day in 2025 so far. @realDonaldTrump and Republicans can try to take us back to the days of dirty coal, but the future is in cheap, abundant clean energy.

Morgen auf der langen Nacht der Wissenschaften gibt's von mir um 22:00 Uhr einen Vortrag mit dem Titel "Gene und Geschichte – Wie alte DNA unsere bewegte Vergangenheit erzählt". Herzliche Einladung ans @MPI_EVA_Leipzig

Am 20. Juni ist es soweit: Das @MPI_EVA_Leipzig lädt zur Langen Nacht der Wissenschaften ein! 😊 Ab 18 Uhr erwarten Euch spannende Vorträge & eine bunte Vielfalt an Mitmachstationen rund um #Menschheitsgeschichte 🧬🧪 & #Primatenevolution. 🐒 Das Programm: eva.mpg.de/de/veranstaltu…

Our #PhD students are excited to hear @stschiff speak about "Spatial inference of population structure and prehistoric human mobility from ancient and modern #genomes" tomorrow for our #PopGen Seminar series. Full schedule and streaming signup at popgen-vienna.at/news/seminars/

Call for #PhD students open! Apply by 14th of May to start your research career in #evolution #genetics in beautiful #Vienna among a fun international and interdisciplinary crowd of peers #evolVienna #bioinformatics #bigdata #Drosophila #adaptation #popgen please RT

@vagheesh Thanks for the recommendation. Never looked at the supplement. On my reading list now.

Whenever I'm feeling a little out of it scientifically or think I need huge sample sizes to say anything meaningful, I often re-read Green et al, Science, 2010. It's a truly otherworldly paper and of course duly won the Nobel Prize. The supplement is just🔥#con1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">science.org/doi/abs/10.112…

I'm thrilled that our new article was published today in @AJHGNews. It was an excellent collaboration with @cschlebu, Yoro Diallo, Vaclav Janousek, and Viktor Cerny. Population history and admixture of the Fulani people from the Sahel #Africa #OpenAccess doi.org/10.1016/j.ajhg…

Here is a nice News piece (science.org/content/articl…) by @spoke32 about the work, with a quote from @JoGretzing. 6/6

What I get from this is that we should all be more data-mining of published data. There are still hidden gems in there, and as the data is growing faster than people can analyze, the rate of unpublished gems may be growing! 5/6

Fascinating study came out two weeks ago by @_larsporsena and Colleagues on a South British Iron Age burial site with an extraordinary matrilocal relatedness pattern (nature.com/articles/s4158…)... 1/6

Excellent book review on "The trouble with ancient DNA" by my colleague @KathrinNaegele: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Nice article in National Geographics (in German) on our findings of dynastic relationships among Celtic elite burials, featuring Angela Mötsch from my group: nationalgeographic.de/geschichte-und…

Our Cell Genomics preview “Double or Nothing – Ancient Duplications in the Amylase Locus Drove Human Adaptation” covering Yilmaz F. (@feyza__yilmaz) et al., Science 2024 and Bolognini D. (@davidebolo93) et al., Nature 2024 is now out. massilani-lab.com/new-publicatio…

Our work, which shows statistical issues with the previous claim of a severe ancient bottleneck in the ancestry of African populations, has been selected as a Featured article in @GeneticsGSA doi.org/10.1093/geneti… Great work by @YunDeng5, co-advised by @ras_nielsen and me 1/2

"Ancient DNA reveals family ties" is named on of the top 10 Science Break-throughs in 2024 by Science (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…). Our work on early Celtic princely burials and their discovered close kinship gets mentioned, too!

The Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology is pleased to announce that Dr. Patrick Roberts @palaeotropics will join its board of directors, heading the new Department of Coevolution of Land Use and Urbanisation bit.ly/41SW7DI

This work about the severe African bottleneck hypothesis is now published on Genetics at: doi.org/10.1093/geneti…. More details can be found at our previous thread below:
