Associate Curator of Human Evolution @goCMNH. Tweeting about science, bioarchaeology, Africa, health & disease, ancient DNA, & 1 specific labrador. She/her 🇨🇦
A year later, thrilled to share the 1st product of this workshop published today in @AJHGNews: “Charting a landmark-driven path forward for population genetics and ancient DNA research in Africa” Open

To this group of people who traveled to Nairobi for #DNAirobi, I am grateful for you and inspired by you.. We took a huge step toward building a future of ethical, engaged, and equitable scholarship and I could not be more proud.
Onwards! 🧬💀🇰🇪 🌍
🚨📣: JobS alert - recruiting 3 summer interns @goCMNH - two bioarchaeology/archaeology positions involving fieldwork in Kenya, & 1 archival position based in Cleveland. 8 weeks, must be enrolled in an undergrad program or graduated within 6mos. Apply here https://t.co/cskh5hg9sY
Two jobs at @IndianaUniv Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology! 1) Curator of Midwest Archaeology (Job ID 312622, $70K/year) 2) Education Coordinator (Job ID 312616, $46K/year). Listed on https://t.co/XRq5Kh2wzO, click on "All External Candidates" under "Staff Positions".
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
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!

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).

New open access paper out today with @stgoldste @natalatl & team in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Go check out what we found in 135 flot samples from what we reckon is now the most floated site in Eastern Africa. 💧🌱👩🌾 #AllTheFlots#Archaeology#AfricanArchaeology
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!!
🚨📣 Join us Feb 8, 2024 6:30p @goCMNH for a FREE public lecture by Prof Carlina de la Cova AKA @Bonesholmes on ethics & the world-famous Hamann-Todd collection! Event details and registration here - https://t.co/tL7PSUxpAS #Anthropology#BiologicalAnthropology
