We have received a lot of media interest, and it has been a real pleasure to engage with a lot of wonderful science communicators. Thanks to @genomebiolevol.bsky.social for collating great examples of this coverage. This coverage includes very positive opinions from academics we respect a lot (2/n)

Thanks to you @scitomm.bsky.social for covering our research!

Thank you, Jack. It was a pleasure talking to you and to see the final product.

So proud that this is out 🐺⏳🧬🦏. First paper as a senior author (co-shared with @lovedalen.bsky.social; thanks for a great opportunity) and led by my awesome former MSc student @solveiggudjonsd.bsky.social and a brilliant CPG postdoc @edanalord.bsky.social (1/n)

@solveiggudjonsd.bsky.social is also on Bluesky now!

Thank you so much @timcoulson.bsky.social for such an interesting take on our research. We are glad you found it so relevant and interesting!

Thanks a lot for disseminating our research, @mostlymammoths.bsky.social. It was great to have you covering it.

Also check this one out! Great work led by @marmole6.bsky.social

Check out this fantastic work led by @alexgilardet.bsky.social. So thrilled to have contributed a little!

Que increíble esfuerzo el de todos ustedes 👏, gracias Lalo, Ángeles, Maria y Fede por liderar esto 💪. Un gran aporte a la paleogenómica latinoamericana desde México. Como colombiano me siento muy honrado de haber puesto mi granito de arena y espero que este sea el inicio de muchas colaboraciones 😀

Encantado de haber hecho parte de este maravilloso estudio!

Felicidades a @fsanchezquinto.bsky.social y a todos los demás autores

Definitely recommend working with Nikolay, great opportunity in Riga.

I'm super excited to share our new paper on Norwegian lemming genomics just published in @pnas.org!! Read the paper here: www.pnas.org/doi/epub/10....
Summary ⬇️

The FIRST International Conference on Palaeogenomics will happen in Stockholm, Sweden, June 23-26, 2026!

Topics will encompass all corners of ancient DNA research, from humans to wildlife and sediments🧬🦣💀🦠

Save the dates ✅

Check the website icp2026.palaeogenomics.org and follow us for updates!

Hello everyone,

Are you interested in news about research findings, jobs, PhD positions, etc, from the Centre for Palaeogenetics?

Or do you simply want to see lots of cool photos from our work (like the 28,000 year old cave lion cub below)?

If yes, please give @cpgsthlm.bsky.social a follow!

So happy to have the opportunity to do some public engagement with the Beringia Centre Science Talks at @yukonberingia.bsky.social ⬇️

I'll try my best to explain the challenges 🔍 of working with million-years-old DNA 🧬🦣 and what we can learn from it.

Check our paper: doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf065

Deadline application extended until May 4th

Looking forward to April's issue of @molbioevol.bsky.social!

So nice to see our research covered by @discovermag.bsky.social. I've been reading them since I was a little geek 🤓

For my first-ever bsky post, I’m thrilled to share our latest #ancientDNA research, which I co-led with @jessthorpemas.bsky.social

OA: doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf065

We recovered and analysed mitochondrial genomes from many #mammoths spanning the last million years 🦣🧬⌛

Protection deal for Amazon rainforest in peril as big business turns up heat Exclusive: With Brazil’s politicians, agribusiness organisations and global traders piling on the pressure, the highly successful 2006 Soy Moratorium is under threat

We can't afford to take backwards steps. ❌

Soy producers must uphold the Amazon Soy Moratorium & protect the rainforest from irreversible damage. Weakening it could open up large areas of forest for animal feed. 🌎
