"why didn’t the State instead take those tens of millions of euro, create a national public genomics research centre, and step into the 21st century by investing in and directly benefiting the Irish people, rather than a private multinational?" irishtimes.com/business/techn…

What an flipping fascinating end to the ISHG Conference today #AncientDNA. V well deserved prize-winners! and super-quick spot prize winners. Thanks everyone v much - delighted to part of the team for next year - thanks!

Trinity researchers Shigeki Nakagome Niall Cooke Dan Bradley @brad-dan.bsky.social have rewritten early Japanese history by underlining that modern day populations in Japan have a tripartite genetic origin,refining previously accepted views of a dual genomic ancestry bit.ly/3zlFn6b #researchMATTERS

We’re recruiting postdocs to my lab and Sarah Doyle lab! If you’re interested in translational vision research, please see below. Join us! ⁦Trinity College Dublin⁩

We'd like to help showcase Irish genetics research. If you publish a paper, give a talk or a poster, etc and tweet about it then please mention ISHG We'll then retweet and like it to help you reach a wider audience.

Myself and Shigeki Nakagome are looking for presentations on the genomics of hunter-gatherer populations (ancient or present-day) for our session at CHAGS13 (UCD, Dublin 27 Jun - 1 Jul 2022). Submit your abstract below - deadline 4th Feb ucd.ie/chags13/academ…

We have 3 superb keynote speakers lined up for #ISHG2022! Prof Nicky Whiffin, Prof Lorna Harries, and Prof Dan Bradley. See ishg.ie/conference/ for details. Nicky Whiffin @miRNAgirl Dan Bradley @brad-dan.bsky.social

The closing date for supervisors to submit a brief project proposal for ISHG sponsored summer studentships is the 8th December. See ishg.ie/2023/10/03/ish… for details

Such brilliant news and so well deserved! Dan Bradley has been an incredible mentor and colleague to so many of us over the years and we couldn't be prouder :)

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! 🐄🧬🦴

Our new paper is out! Congrats to the whole team, especially the staff and students Bournemouth Uni who have been excavating this incredible site for 15 years (with much more left to uncover!) Widespread matrilocality in Iron Age Britain - Up Na Mná :) rdcu.be/d6mb0
