Casillas et al. investigated the genetic basis of a unique longitudinal dorsal stripe pattern in adders from Gossa Island, identifying a significantly differentiated genomic region containing PMEL and a missense variant in this gene.

We have a new paper out on one of evolution’s “classic” systems: Galápagos Scalesia plants! 🌿
How do you generate huge differences in leaf shape across species in <1 million years?
We combined genomics + morphology + transcriptomics across the full radiation 👇

What happens when violence targets the future of a society?
Our new paper in Nature Human Behaviour examines one of Europe’s largest prehistoric mass graves and finds evidence for selective violence directed against women and children in the Early Iron Age.

A large mass grave from the Early Iron Age indicates selective violence towards women and children in the Carpathian Basin - Nature Human Behaviour
In this analysis of biomolecular and archaeological data from a ninth-century BCE mass grave in the Carpathian Basin, Fibiger et al. find evidence for the targeted killing of mostly unrelated women an...

So I was honored with the AAAS Sussman award for scientific contributions to anthropology AND I made the Sen.Ted Cruz all-star list of questionable projects that promote woke DEI and neo-marxist propaganda all in one week! www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...
Senate Committee Targets $3 Million in Harvard NSF Research Grants for ‘Far-Left Ideology’ | News | The Harvard Crimson
A Senate Commerce Committee report released last week labeled more than $3 million in federal grants to Harvard researchers as advancing DEI initiatives or “neo-Marxist class warfare propaganda."

It's a bad and backwards-looking law. The talent exodus from Norway has already begun!
"The impact of the law could be considerable. In 2022, around 44% of PhD candidates and 74% of postdoctoral fellows at Norwegian higher-education institutions came from abroad."
