A little behind the scenes chat with @KendraSirak & I about our collaborative paper published in @AJHGNews this month! https://t.co/UkbJQgWf4P #AncientDNA #popgen #Africa

[Dr. Ebeth Sawchuk @palaeobeth]

This is why we need to keep training bioarchaeologists, skeletal biologists & osteologists. Addressing Biological Anthropology’s problematic history/legacy is going to take well trained, skilled labourers for at least the next few generations. #Archaeology #BioAnth

Because promoting the inclusion of African scholars in local DNA research will ensure contextual relevance and empower local expertise #Science #African

Earlier today, I attended a press conference launching our new paper on the future of ancient DNA studies in Africa. I urged the Kenyan youth to venture into science, leveraging the @museumsofkenya global standing & scientific partnerships. #DNAIROBI #ScienceForAll @palaeobeth

[Abdikadir Kurewa @AQurewa]

Our latest paper in the American Journal of Human Genetics delves into ancient DNA research in Africa & propose a vision for inclusive & equitable research in the continent. Shout out to @palaeobeth & @KendraSirak for organising the #DNAIROBI workshop!

[Kendra Sirak @KendraSirak]

Our first group output from the #DNAirobi workshop is now published! Written by co-authors from all over the world, we share our view for what the #popgen and #aDNA research landscape in Africa could look like in ten years’ time (and how we can get there).

@michiganmalorie Thanks, great to hear others feel similarly!

One of my favorite takeaways from #AABA2024 was this slide from Wilson and colleagues (Bioarchaeology in the time of climate change). We are all responsible for human remains!!
