Dr. @Keneiloe “Bones” Molopyane: Unveiling Ancient Secrets Buried with Homo Naledi... https://t.co/RWWZaIwLbY by @AstroSibs

[SciBraai @SciBraai]

The value of public science around #homonaledi is not lost on Molopyane and her team, as they have embraced openness and transparency by sharing preprints of their findings by inviting scientists from around the world to examine and critique their work. https://t.co/srmmTQkFnu

“By 2018, we understood the distribution of the fossils within the chamber than we had in 2015, and that’s when we noticed the shallow burials as actual burials as the ground had been disturbed before us.”

I flew to Rotterdam alone and look at all the South Africans I found at the @PCSTNetwork conference #PCST2023 I met some old friends, made some new ones and completely inspired to do more #scicomm and #publicengagement
