Happy Postdoc Appreciation Week to all the #bioanth postdocs!! Y'all are fabulous and are doing amazing research. Can't wait to hear about it at #AAPA2021!
Just did a thread on the planning webinar for #AAPA2021. Did my best summarizing. Video will be made available on the AAPA website soon. Get excited for those abstracts DUE Oct 15!!
This is a platform created by Black biological anthropologists for Black Biological anthropologists to foster a sense of community in our field and to highlight each other’s achievements and work. Please follow and connect with us using the hashtag #blackinbioanth
Maybe the biggest disjoint between textbook human evolution and real data concerns the connection between the base of the skull and bipedal locomotion. A new study in @AmJournalPrimat once again finds that foramen magnum position doesn't predict posture. https://t.co/Nc7WOzomLQ
@throckman Fair points. Still a fan of how you choose to use your privilege monetarily. Because let me tell you, I know exactly who is stingy and who is generous from years of selling 50/50 raffle tickets for the AAPA live auction....I have a list!
This is just one example of why @throckman is the best human and always supporting the next generation. He is annually the largest monetary supporter of the BANDIT Happy Hour at AAPA over the past few years. Thanks Zach for paying it forward!
The virtual #AAPA2020 is now available! Check out the awesome presentations from the comfort of your own couch! Contributions from the lab include... (1/5)

Dear Scientists,
if you wouldn't share THIS "article" https://t.co/xeZsHwmnJ9
or THIS CORPORATE PITCH: https://t.co/GXBWJo3TjQ
bc NONE of the science can be evaluated, then DON'T SHARE THE MEDIUM ESSAY.
You're unwittingly engaging in the science equivalent of money laundering
AAPA @physanth is taking requests for conference registration $$ reimbursement.

Many people need this $, and quick. BUT if you are in position to forgo, consider NOT filling out the form. Unclaimed fees are treated as donations to help our org recover!
With the sad news that #AAPA2020 has been canceled, BANDIT will be releasing the new website soon with content for early career bioanths on the market and in their pre-tenure positions. Stay tuned!
#AAPA2020 has been canceled. This will have major financial ramifications for the association but it was the right decision to #FlattenTheCurve. Many thanks to the @PhysAnth Exec Comm for their work on really difficult process.
