Excellent breakdown of our latest paper about the reuse of Neolithic burials in England by the Bronze Age newcomers. Saved me the time to come up with something smart to say about it👇

Luckily the video became online on the same day as the paper I talked about at the end of my talk "confidentially" 😅

Great place to be, two thumbs up!
📣 The @scilifelab.se #ddls postdoc (2yrs) offers a great community + training + all social benefits!

Happy to discuss your own project ideas! I also have some ideas on ARGs, pangenomes or biobank-scale datasets 🧬🐏🧪🖥️

Deadline is Mar 31 but some admin things need to be handled well in advance!
SciLifeLab has opened a call for #postdoc fellows in Data-Driven Life Science. We would be happy to host such fellows!

Get in touch if you are interested in applying with a project on the evolution of humans and domestic animals using ancient and/or modern DNA 🧪🏺

Our new ancient DNA paper has just been published!
We present 28 new genomes from southern Africa - several of them high-coverage whole genomes.
Exciting to be moving towards population-level representation of ancient southern African genetic diversity!
