🧵14/n Eirini Skourtanioti is a postdoctoral researcher at #LudwigMaximilianUniversity of Munich, specializing in ancient human genomics and its integration with historical and bioarchaeological evidence. She will be teaching how to run hapROH.

🎶📣 special shout-out to our amazing organisation team: @mireniraorb.bsky.social (Postdoc @ #UniversityofLausanne) @marinasdsilva.bsky.social (Postdoc @crick.ac.uk) and @epifaniaarango.bsky.social (Postdoc at #UniversityofWisconsin-Madison)

🧵13/n Originally from Portugal, Bárbara Sousa da Mota is a postdoctoral researcher in David Reich Lab @harvard.edu. For her PhD (University of Lausanne) she assessed how imputation tools can reliably be applied in the field of ancient human DNA. Bárbara will give a lecture on imputation.

🧵12/n @eadaoinharney.bsky.social: a scientist on the Population Genetics R&D team at @23andMe. and a lecturer at @harvard.edu. Her work integrates allele frequency approaches & IBD analysis to study migration, admixture, & relatedness. She will give a lecture on how to interpret qpAdm & IBD results

🧵10/n @sevvalakturk.bsky.social: a PhD student in the Bioinformatics Department at @hacettepe.bsky.social. For her master’s @Middle East Technical University, she simulated ancient genomes to assess the reliability of genetic relatedness tools. She will teach methods to estimate genetic relatedness

🧵9/n @emily-brez.bsky.social: a postdoctoral researcher at Trinity College Dublin. Her work focuses on the demographic history of populations in W Europe, applying genotype imputation to maximise the information retrieved from low-coverage genomes. She will be teaching an intro to NGS data

🧵8/n @jazminrm.bsky.social: an assistant professor at the Center for Evolutionary Hologenomics at the University of Copenhagen tracing the evolution of plant and animal species through domestication using palaeogenomics. She will be leading sessions on data curation & unsupervised analyses

🧵7/n @leospeidel.bsky.social: a group leader #RIKEN, based at @iTHEMS. He focuses on the development of methods for the inference of genealogies and their applications. Leo will be teaching theoretical and practical sessions on f-statistics

🧵6/n James Fellows Yates & @selinacarlhoff.bsky.social will teach how to run nf-core/eager to process aDNA data. James develops bioinformatic tools for (ancient) metagenomics. Selina is a postdoctoral researcher @mpi-eva-leipzig.bsky.social , focussing on IA Europe and the settlement of SE Asia

🧵5/n John Robb: prof of European Prehistory at the University of Cambridge and an editor @cambridgeup.bsky.social. His research includes archaeological & anthropological theory, with a focus on agency, material culture, gender & the body. He will guide a roundtable on archaeological interpretations

🧵4/n @cjfrieman.bsky.social: an associate professor of European Archaeology at ANU and an editor at Current Anthropology. Her work explores innovation, resistance, feminist theory, ancient tech, the politics of archaeology and ethical challenges of aDNA. She will be guiding a roundtable on kinship

🧵3/n @stschiff.bsky.social: group leader for population genetics at the @mpi-eva-leipzig.bsky.social. His research group investigates human history by means of genetics & develops computational methods to model & analyse ancient and modern genomic data. He will teach an intro to population genetics

🧵2/n @hringbauer.bsky.social: a population geneticist developing computational tools to study ancient human 🧬. He leads a research group @mpi-eva-leipzig.bsky.social, exploring past population and social structures through ancient genomes. He will give a theoretical lecture focussed on hapROH/ancIBD

🧵1/n ✨🔮✨ Meet (y)our instructors of this year's #HAAMsummerschool 👇 #aDNA #course #humanpopgen

✨ This year's #HAAMsummerschool starts with an introduction to bash and continues with a week of existing and deep diving sessions into the studies of human genetic studies.
