The wonderful people at the NZ Science Learning Hub have turned my talk on MythBusting de-extinction to sort fact from fiction into a freely available educational resource. You can check it out here www.sciencelearn.org.nz/resources/my...
For good measure, this interesting study was also published :D
Genomic# evidence for the Holocene codispersal of dogs# and humans across Eastern Eurasia | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
They are now published: the results of a study I contributed to when I was recently employed as an antiquarian at Lund Universityβs Historical Museum!

Hello, Iβm Erika Rosengren, the Osteological Collections Curator at Lund Universityβs Historical Museum and a PhD candidate in Zooarchaeology. My research explores how the environment and Mesolithic people affected animal populations in Scandinavia, focusing on aurochs and European bison. Thank you!
Our two black cats are named Selma and Wilma βΊοΈ
Final call! Apply for this funded PhD at University College London. @uclarchaeology.bsky.social on :
Human or Animal? Biomolecular Analysis of Upper Palaeolithic Bone Artefacts to Explore Raw Material Selection.
Deadline 20th January 5pm Uk time www.trees-dla.ac.uk/projects/hum...

Hi everybody! New year, new stuff on AaRC! Today we publish the first entry on our blog, here our November speakers for the #AaRCTikTalks share some stuff about themselves. One of our goals as a community is to get to know each other, so please, take a look: www.animal-adna.org/blog/2025/01...
At Stockholm University, we are now starting a 2-year Masterβs programme in Evolutionary Genomics!
Topics include population genetics, phylogenetics, molecular & genome evolution, DNA sequencing, bioinformatics, and palaeogenetics.
Please spread the word!

I competed in the annual winter holiday dressage show and won with this cutie
Did you ever stop to think: βwhy do we know that these Thorβs hammer thingys that only vaguely resemble actual hammers are in fact hammers?β Well, about six years ago this 10th century Thorβs hammer amulet was found on Lolland bearing the runic inscription: βI AM A HAMMERβ.
And there you have it.
Lovely reconstructions. Are they yours?

The earliest known artistic representation of people from Denmarkβs prehistory are these five individuals etched into an Aurochs metatarsal around 10.000 years ago.
