All #NIH grants have now terminated here at #Harvard, including ours, which examined shared/distinct underlying neural & cognitive mechanisms between typical/atypical #arithmetic and #reading skills. Results would have been invaluable for development of #screening, diagnostic, & intervention tools.

"Excavating Homo sapiens’ interactions with Neandertals"

No doubt researchers will find out even more about these interactions over the coming years.

You cannot consider the future without the past.

Inspirational quote by Jefferson at Leuphana university library is contested because of the past: why a slave holder's quote in the University library?

The future is shaped and constrained by history. I think we should pay it more attention.

🔆 Happy #InternationalWomensDay!

"Moussolou" is a song from Mali by Salif Keita
and is sung primarily in Bambara, with some Fula and Arabic.

He sings of women's merit, of performing difficult tasks with heart, courage and humility.

Dedicated to women, the song is a call for justice and equality.

Welcome!

28,000-year-old Neanderthal-and-human 'Lapedo child' lived tens of thousands of years after our closest relatives went extinct Researchers used a novel method of radiocarbon dating to figure out the age of the Lapedo child, who had both Neanderthal and human traits.

For 2,500 years, women have been fighting for their place in our democracies. Ahead of International Women's Day, we trace the slow path towards equality.
