Wonderful science week @cenieh.bsky.social for the Tied2Teeth @erc.europa.eu project & @coleccionrp.bsky.social @erindunnscd.bsky.social came to #Burgos talk about her research into how teeth can tell us about risk for #Depression Ratón Pérez's collaborators got to meet the Science Tooth Fairy!

A joy & honor to give a Distinguished Lecture at #IADR2025, sharing Tied2Teeth @etc.europa.eu research. Evolution provides a rich source of new ideas about biology. #Science 🧪 @erc.europa.eu Photo thanks: @nicholaslab.bsky.social

Fantastic #IADR2025 Distinguished Lecture by @hlusko.bsky.social So great to see some evolutionary biology represented!

Disabled people should be involved from the outset in developing digital tools and services that are fundamental to work, life and play to maximise the transformative benefits they can bring says our new report on #DisabilityTechnology, released today.

Honoured to serve on the Advisory Committee for the DeMoDa project at @cenieh.bsky.social this week, powered by @hlusko.bsky.social’s ERC project Tied2Teeth – together with eight fellow experts in dental anthropology. www.cenieh.es/en/press/new...

Fellow scientists, I have a question about authorship order. If you are the PI on the grant and the leader of the research group, who goes into the last/senior author position on a paper you took the lead on? Are you ever first author if you run the lab?

This NY Times story really hits home on how careful scientists need to be when hyping their research. Here’s a question I have long had for this de-extinction effort: Should we spend lots of time and money on genome-mixing or invest those resources in conservation of the animals still alive? 🧪

Let's pull apart the genetics behind this dire wolf clone story because the lack of transparency and accuracy displayed by Colossal Biosciences PR is going to do a lot of harm to public trust in genetics and genomics. A thread 🧵 time.com/7275439/scie...

The Science Behind the Return of the Dire Wolf

Here's how Colossal Biosciences brought the dire wolf back after more than 10,000 years.

A Macaque Model for the Effects of Hybridization on Body Size

Virtual measurements from CT scans of living monkeys were used to capture size and shape data on the effects of hybridization in size and variation.
