This 3.5 million year old “flat-faced” skull quickly grabbed international headlines and changed the course of human evolution.

If wisdom teeth kick off very late in childhood, then our work suggests they're at higher risk of impaction.

Hi
We contributed towards the South African Journal of Science Taung Centennial!
some links;
the special issue: issuu.com/sajs/docs/so...
our paper: sajs.co.za/article/view...
and I got featured on where I work from Nature Africa if you are interested in that: www.nature.com/articles/d44...
The huge oval reflecting pool at the entrance of the Aga Khan Garden. In the reflection, we see a very blue sky and a tall forest of evergreens.
An off-white c fountain in the shape of an open flower with five petals sprays into the sky in the Aga Khan Botanic Gardens.
A vista showing the dramatic central pavilion of the Aga Khan Botanic Garden, a grey-white terraced structure. In the foreground, we see water features and floating lily pads.
Grey and white geometric mosaic blocks in the midst of the Aga Khan Garden with a forest of wild evergreens in the background.
On this “brisk” winter day in #Edmonton, thinking about the late Aga Khan’s generous gift to the University of Alberta Botanic Garden. The world’s Ismaili community is mourning. But know that the Aga Khan’s memory will be a blessing here for decades. #yeg #UniversityofAlberta #ualberta #AgaKhan

It's long to read but you will not regret it.
This perspective from a former editor in chief of Science magazine, provides a good confirmation of what many of us already suspected.
Thanks @jeremymberg.bsky.social for this honest & raw description of publishing in science, and not only in Science.
I recently stepped down as an AE at a Springer:Nature journal for reasons similar to o the JHE board (where I also once served). Time to stop allowing ourselves to be exploited for corporate profit. We can do everything without them.

Flyer has a white box on an orange background. The AABA 2025 logo and heading is at the top. In large orange font it says “WORKSHOP PROPOSALS” and in smaller font beneath “Submit a workshop proposal for the 2025 AABA Meeting in Baltimore, Maryland! Submission portal closes November 15, 2024.” A link to bioanth.org is shown and there’s a cute orange crab on the lower right corner of the graphic.
Are you interested in organizing a workshop at #AABA2025? Workshop proposal applications are due November 15! More info here: bioanth.org/94th-annual-...
