In case anyone missed it, the abstract deadline was extended to 16 May, so still a couple of days to get an abstract in!!

⚠️There's two days left to submit abstracts for this years #ICAZ-AGPM meeting. We're looking forward to welcoming you here in Copenhagen in October! @icaz-news.bsky.social.

Just one day left for abstract submissions for #ESHE2025 in Paris! 🌏Note that remote/virtual presentations are also possible 🌍. www.eshe.eu/abstract/

We’re really privileged to be part of this study: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/..., working on the exceptional Schöningen site to try to narrow down its age. We analysed Bithynia opercula from excavation blocks taken from the spear horizon, looking at their intra-crystalline amino acids. 🧵 1/5

There are only a few days left to submit your abstract for #ESHE2025 — the deadline is Wednesday 14 May at 11:59 PM (PST). Looking forward to seeing you in Paris! Submit here: www.eshe.eu/abstract/

It's so cool to see the proteomic data from fossils continuing to grow! The recent results from the Penghu 1 jaw, dredged from the bottom of the Taiwan Strait, put it into a Denisovan context, more than 4000 kilometers southeast of Denisova Cave itself. www.johnhawks.net/p/the-proble...

🎓✨ Bordeaux Summer School 2025 – 4th Edition Topic: Advanced Mass Spectrometry Applied to Cultural Heritage 📍 Bordeaux, France 🗓️ June 16–20, 2025 📝 Applications are now open! Learn more and apply here: bss-appliedchemistry.u-bordeaux.fr/en/abstracts

Last week we had a major celebration! 🎉Congratulations to Ragnheiður Diljá Ásmundsdóttir who successfully defended her PhD on skeletal proteome variation in the human skeleton! 🦴 #palaeoproteomics

An absolute highlight of the year! Congratulations to Diljá for passing her PhD defense last week. I'm so proud of all your achievements over the past 3 years.🥳 #newPhD #ProudSupervisor #palaeoproteomics

Og tak til @videnskab.dk for at skrive om vores forskning om Penghu-underkæben!

'Een grote ontdekking was dat ook de genvariant die het de huidige Tibetanen mogelijk maakt om op grote hoogte te kunnen leven afkomstig bleek van denisoviërs.’ Hendrik Spiering @hendrikspiering.bsky.social @nrcwetenschap.bsky.social #paleoantropologie #paleontologie www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Our paper on the #palaeoproteomic identification of a male Denisovan mandible from Taiwan is out in @science.org ! doi.org/10.1126/scie...

A fossil Pleistocene-age hominin jawbone discovered in Taiwan has now been identified as belonging to a Denisovan, finds a new study in Science. The results provide direct molecular evidence that Denisovans occupied diverse climates and offer new insights into this hominin lineage. scim.ag/4joSUBh

Nice piece by @carlzimmer.com on our Penghu palaeoproteomic study in the @nytimes.com.

Incredibly proud that our paper on the #palaeoproteomics analysis of the Penghu mandible, led by @tsutatsuta.bsky.social and in collaboration with Chun-Hsiang Chang, Enrico Cappellini and co, is out now in @science.org! doi.org/10.1126/scie...

Enjoying learning new palaeoproteomics techniques during my research stay in Copenhagen 👩🏼‍🔬🦴🧬🦬 @welkergroup.bsky.social

We are excited to announce a new faculty position here in Cambridge, for researchers in computational and/or theoretical biology, based jointly in Genetics and Mathematics. Come and join us! Happy to answer questions about research, teaching and working here. www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/50414/

One of the highlights of spring is back online! #visdeurbel visdeurbel.nl/en/

Excellent talks about Neanderthals and Denisovans by @lauritsskov.bsky.social and @fridowelker.bsky.social today at Vin & Videnskab!

We managed to solve the puzzles of the escape room before the vikings got us!

What a way to end the month! Last week I had the opportunity to talk all things Denisovans at the Vin&Videnskab public lecture series. Thanks to SNM and @mogenstrolle.bsky.social for the invite, @lauritsskov.bsky.social for talking about Neanderthals, and the fun audience to come and listen!
