All about ancient stuff Mosquito Museomics, Ancient Metagenomics, Forensic Anthropology & more ancient secrets to unveil 🌈🦟🧬 @museuciencies.cat @ibe-barcelona.bsky.social
Day 3 of #SMBE26! Inspiring talks on gut microbiome evolution by @nanditagarud.bsky.social and great sessions on ancient animals & viruses! 🦠 A special remark on the paleoproteomics session with Palesa Madupe about social responsibility & ethics in African research! 🌍
If you are into Museomics, Metagenomics, or just want to complain about why mosquitoes only bite you 🦟... I can help you with the first two! Check out my Poster 262 on Mosquito Museomics in room Arkaden 8! #SMBE26
Outstanding 2nd-day plenary talk from Mehmet Somel on how female-centered societies in the Neolithic were actually a trend in Anatolia! #SMBE26
What a start! Wrapping up the first day of #SMBE26 with amazing talks covering Ai methods to detect ancient pathogens, museums metagenomics, and a great work on the Culex side with 4 new high-quality reference genomes!

Wrapping up my first congress #ESEB2025! Incredible insights from leading experts and an inspiring Museomics session. Excited to bring new ideas into my project!
Goodbye #eseb2025 @eseb2025.bsky.social see you next time! Perhaps what stuck most was powerful talk on resilience and survival by Palestinian researcher, play director, and ESEB EUEA awardee May Shehady. Let's not forget, let's not look away. 🇵🇸
#ESEB2025 great talks in the museomics session, including @amandalindahl.bsky.social giving a great talk on her first (!!) conference 👏 🐻
Attending #ESEB2025 has been an amazing experience! If you are interested in more ancient DNA and museomics, please consider joining us in Stockholm for the first International Conference on Palaeogenomics (June 23-26 2026)! Follow @palaeogenomics.bsky.social 👉icp2026.palaeogenomics.org
🚨🚨CASUAL GALA DINNER🚨🚨 For those not going to the gala dinner, let’s keep the networking going with a casual beach dinner! Bring something to eat or drink, and join us. WhatsApp group: chat.whatsapp.com/E5o0crMZxibD... Starting 5:30 PM today - position attached. #ESEB2025 PLEASE REPOST!!!

Amazing #eseb2025 talk!
CompEvo & HumanG Labs@compevohumang.bsky.social · last yr.🧬In Neolithic Çatalhöyük, family was built on social relations rather than blood ties. Genetic analysis shows that over time, co-residents were no longer genetic relatives. Female subadults were buried with 5x more grave goods. 🔍A surprising story of Neolithic social life.
