Seasonality and water source strategies in the Neolithic Near East (ca. 8,000–5,000 BCE): Insights from multi-proxy isotopic and elemental analyses Previous studies have demonstrated that enamel oxygen isotope values (δ18O) reflect rainfall variability experienced by wild primates and ancient huma…

Our new paper is out in Journal of Archaeological Science!

I escaped poverty because I am a scientist.

And I am a scientist because of the National Science Foundation.

New research on Neolithic water strategies in the Near East! We analyzed oxygen isotopes and trace elements in teeth enamel from Neolithic sites in Iran & Iraq. Read the preprint of our paper, under review at J. Archaeological Science: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... #archaeology #Neolithic

To be clear, VP Vance has said "the professors are the enemies" and "we have to honestly and aggressively attack the universities in this country."

Direct line from that to shutting down NIH and NSF panels - the GOP is happy to end cancer research if it means "owning the libs"

Very excited (and a bit nervous) to announce that I will be hiring two Postdocs for my new group(!) in Copenhagen to study the Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA which survives in present-day humans. Retweet will be much appreciated :)

Today's #Laboratory ⚒️🧪 Adventure was convincing an automated sampling table to do dozens of repeat measurements of chemical composition in several reference materials. A great way to calculate analytical uncertainty and certainly *way* better than doing it manually. 🤖

Brief communication: New method for measuring nitrogen isotopes in tooth dentine at high temporal resolution Nitrogen isotope curve demonstrating the initiation and completion of nursing in a human child.

New method for measuring nitrogen isotopes in tooth dentine at high temporal resolution. We demonstrate that developmentally informed SIMS measurements of N isotopes minimize time averaging and can be precisely related to an individual's early dietary history!

Great initiative! Please add me in!

Just started a new pack for #isotope bioarchaeologists, ecologists and so on.😀🧪

Let me know if you would like to be in/out!

Hope it can help.🙌
