En route to Dublin after two wonderful days of meetings and back-to-back seminars in Vienna #Heasseminar and at MPI Leipzig. Thanks @peregx9.bsky.social and @jennytung.bsky.social for being terrific hosts. Leaving inspired and sleepy.

Genomic evidence for the Holocene codispersal of dogs and humans across Eastern Eurasia As the first domestic species, dogs likely dispersed with different cultural groups during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed 73 ancient dog genomes, including 17 ...

🚨 New paper alert 🚨

Our research, published today in Science, reveals remarkable concordance between human and dog genomes through time, highlighting how deeply intertwined our evolutionary histories have been over the past 11,000 years.

This boi brings me so much joy in times of despair

The emergence and diversification of dog morphology Dogs exhibit an exceptional range of morphological diversity as a result of their long-term association with humans. Attempts to identify when dog morphological variation began to expand have been con...

In the immortal words of Sir Mix-a-Lot: "And ugh, double-up, ugh, ugh".

2 doggy papers are so much better than 1. Both studies a testament to slow science & international collaboration between brilliant people. What it's all about.

I visited Beijing and Shanghai this past summer. I was impressed. I could see myself living/working there.

At least 85 scientists working in the US have joined Chinese research institutions since the start of last year – a trend experts say is set to expand #highered #EduSky https://ow.ly/FQGq50XorpK

Kidnapping in broad daylight.

Science is intertwined with eugenics; eugenic ideologies continue to negatively impact #Indigenous communities to this day.

In the October issue of #GENETICS, @jazlynmooney.bsky.social and colleagues offer a timely and important reminder on the perils of eugenics. buff.ly/1Q5r3XF

In Spanish it’s common to call a little girl “mami” (mommy) and little boys “papi” (daddy) to express affection.

Of course! All my cousins and my husband’s are my kids’ aunties/uncles. And their kids are our kids’ cousins!! it’s been a revelation to learn is *not* this obvious to some 🤯

Learning literally just now that your dad/mom‘s cousin is *not* considered your auntie in some cultures. The whole “controversy “ didn’t make sense to me until… wait… no, it still doesn’t make sense.

What makes PhD students happy? Good supervision Supervisors who invest in positive mentoring relationships with their PhD candidates also reap the benefits for their own research.

"...researchers who invest time in their students tend to lead more-productive, more-collaborative groups and attract stronger future students than those who do not." "Time spent with the next generation of scientists is an investment."

Text on a blue background stating antibiotic resistance is highest where health systems are weakest, with the WHO logo in the corner.

Antibiotic resistance is more common and worsening in places where health systems are fragile or have limited capacity to diagnose or treat bacterial infections.

Investing in diagnostics and equitable access to quality antibiotics is essential. Learn more 👉 bit.ly/438Ta1u
