Plague was surprisingly abundant and widespread in Scandinavia in the period leading up to the Neolithic Decline. In fact, we found plague in 17% of the sampled population. Check out our new paper out in Nature today! nature.com/articles/s4158… #plague #NeolithicDecline #ancientDNA

And the last contributed speaker was Evan Irving-Pease (Evan Irving-Pease), who gave an amazing talk about the evolutionary origins of autoimmune and infectious disease risks.

One person I feel who is insufficiently appreciated is Hadley Wickham. The results of his work are everywhere, every journal and conference I know. He changed the history of science.

TY #SMBE2024 for the best dining experience ever at Los Mapaches Taqueria!!! I had no idea how unfulfilled my life was until I had to fight a dozen trash pandas for my dinner in Puerto Vallarta. It exceeded all of my hopes and dreams.🦝😍😍😍😍 Dr Hayley Mountford Evan Irving-Pease

Very excited to be starting my group this autumn at ithems.riken.jp/en 理化学研究所（理研） and we’re hiring! riken.jp/en/careers/res… Many more fellowship opportunities as well, please get in touch if interested and see you in Tokyo!

A few years ago, we embarked on a journey to rethink science communication. Today, we are thrilled to launch #TheDiaryOfAScientist—a project that unites scientists, journalists, and artists to celebrate the curiosity driving research. Explore it here: publico.pt/interactivos/d…

4-year postdoc position in ancient human population genomics in my lab at the Crick. crick.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/External/job/L… Join us if you are interested in studying genetic history and/or natural selection in Europe and/or elsewhere, using ancient human shotgun genomes. Starting time is

Hot off the press! We present CLUES2, a comprehensive method for selection coefficients that can incorporate ARGs, ancient DNA, changing selection through time, dominance, and more. academic.oup.com/mbe/article/do…

Do you know that watching Pokémon can inspire someone to become an evolutionary biologist? Find out how in this great piece written by my student Eugénio Silva about his PhD on ancient rabbits: publico.pt/interactivos/d… This article is part of “The Diary of a Scientist” series — a

I'm often asked about the latest GWAS datasets for different cardiovascular traits🧬 🔗This is my list with links to the most recent and largest publicly available GWAS summary statistics for cardiometabolic traits❗️ docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Super-excited to be leading this new initiative with Preben Bo Mortensen Bjarni Vilhjalmsson @DrEEGabriel14 Cecilia Lindgren Chris Holmes Peter Visscher. Many 🙏to the Danish foundations for the funding vision. 10+ jobs advertised - work with leaders in stats, causal inference & machine learning

Excited to share my 1st-author work from the @arbelharpak Lab! We examine the accuracy of polygenic score (PGS) predictions across individuals in the UK Biobank. We make 3 observations that expose gaps in our understanding of PGS “portability”. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/28)

I have news! In October I will be joining CENIEH CENIEH Labs to lead the new Palaeoproteomics laboratory! 👩‍🔬🔬🥼 For those interested, here's an article about the new facilities being established there: diariodeburgos.es/noticia/z01fe0…

Our paper on the evolution of structural variation at the amylase locus is out today in Nature! nature.com/articles/s4158… congrats to co-first authors Joana L. Rocha Nicolas Lou Davide Bolognini Alessandro Raveane & Alma Halgren, co-corresponding author Erik Garrison

Happy to share our new review on ARGs out now in Nature Reviews Genetics! Rasmus Nielsen, Yun Deng 邓赟, and I intend this to be both a useful reference for ARG novices and experts alike. A particular focus of this review is how ARGs inform us about population genetic processes...

Our study, "Reconstruction of the human amylase locus reveals ancient duplications seeding modern-day variation," has just been published in Science. This thread will provide a brief overview of how gene duplications have shaped modern variation in the amylase locus.

For years, dog scientists have known that food appears in bowls or rains from the sky, but the exact source and mechanism is unknown. Buster et al observed that barking at an intermediate volume correlates with food appearance, but only at certain times of the day. #sciart

Yesterday our paper on the genomics of the extinct aurochs was published in nature! I’m so happy to see this work finally released to the wild (ahem…). nature.com/articles/s4158… 🧵 Please follow along this thread of the main findings! 🐄🧬🦴
