What an amazing morning with Trevor Hill and @Afropollen from #UKZN. Taking cores from the wetlands of the #Holley farm to create a pollen record for the area around our site #HolleyShelter. #Paleoenvironment @geobiodiversity @MW_hominin @SaraERhodes1

So proud of @Assiey_N’s journey from the rural Eastern Cape to the bright lights of the big 🍎 where she’ll join @nyuanthro’s PhD program. All thanks to excellent mentoring & guidance from @fynbospollen. The future of African Paleosciences is bright! @CSHO_NYU @TheLeakeyFndtn

❄️Curious about the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and its impact on southern Africa's climates, environments, and human evolution? Our new #Quaternary Science Reviews paper (https://t.co/pyWKRFiUxA) sheds light on this icy chapter at #Boomplaas Cave

[Justin Pargeter @justin_pargeter]

Shoutout to all the amazing Women in Science who make the Boomplaas archaeological project possible #WomenInScienceDay

I’ve been feeling pretty down about the state of things but reading about Salona’s journey reminds me why I’m here. So proud to have worked with this incredibly inspiring #womaninscience @Salona_ @ukznpalaeolab
