There is still one spot left for our Evolutionary Medicine and Paleopathology Field School in Italy this summer! We have a focus on the bioarchaeology of modernity and capitalism (working on nutritional insufficiency, TB, and mental illness in institutional settings).
We also have a strong focus on ethics and repersonalization of human remains. Students receive 6 credits of 400-level Biology from UNCG. The cost is $4766, which includes everything except for airfare (currently $1400) and most meals ($1000).
.@GRSchug led a study that analyzed thousands of years’ worth of data, revealing the impacts of environmental shifts on human health. The paper tied its findings to contemporary climate change and mitigation strategies.

New paper from us in #Nature! We’ve consulted many archives about what happened at the end of the Late Bronze Age but #tree-rings give us nature’s ultimate archive to see how #climate changed at high temporal resolution and at regional spatial scales: https://t.co/f88YQt8Fpt
@sotonarch@Sonia_Zak @SharonDeWitte @petrabonegirl@ancientchildren @tibialpursuit @PNASNews No problem. I’ve not been on Twitter much since the change in leadership. Thinking about possibly returning now… happy to see all the authors getting credit for their work! A great collaborative effort.
Biocultural adaptations in the past 12,000 yrs featured in @PNASNews last month. In a period of climatic amelioration, some communities relied more on domesticated foods, changing Earth’s landscape, environment, & epidemiology. https://t.co/xY15gZsOKS
I am delighted our new ancient DNA study on the Aegean is now published @NatureEcoEvo! https://t.co/QHDMmYPSx8
I want to thank all the coauthors and colleagues from @MPI_EVA_Leipzig, the institutions in Greece, Germany, and North America for being part of this study!
Climate-change-linked drought and heavy rainfall are linked to diarrhea in children, according to an analysis of 611,154 children under 3 years of age in 51 countries. The authors include suggestions for mitigating the harm. In PNAS: https://t.co/cE93dTX1UN
Our work also provides hope for a resilient future if we approach these challenges with a goal of inclusive, equitable sustainable development. @bio_uncg@UNCGResearch@UNCG https://t.co/iXQrJMpM47 2/2
Popping back on to Twitter to say: our @PNASNews paper is out! We address misconceptions about human evolution/nature that plague attempts to plan for global warming by demonstrating some of the complexity of human-environmental relations and health. 1/2
