🚬🦴 New paper out!

We explored how #tobaccouse affected #respiratoryhealth in post-medieval England using osteological + biomolecular data. Findings from London & Barton-upon-Humber suggest complex links between smoking, environment, & inequality.

Just published! 📢

My last PhD paper is out on AJBA!
We examined chronic sinusitis in Dutch pre-adults (475–1866 CE) & found a major rise in post-medieval cases—especially among adolescents. 📈

My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com

Also don't forget to check out the amazing research that IJOA has published in 2024!

It's incredibly rewarding to see such engagement with my research. A huge thank you to my co-author and mentor Dr Sarah Schrader, and to everyone who took the time to read and discuss the paper.

For those who haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, you can read it for free at the link above.

📣Excited to share that my paper, "The urban sea: Cribra orbitalia, porotic hyperostosis, linear enamel hypoplasia, and sinusitis in three diachronic urban sites from the Dutch province of Zeeland (1030–1800 CE)", was the 9th most read article in the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology in 2024!

The ever wonderful Hare and Tabor are @tag45.bsky.social with a range of fantastic presents for the archaeologist in your life 😊

Challenge of the day: I wrote a 65k+ word dissertation, but now adding a 500 words summary feel like writing a haiku about the history of the universe 🙄 #phdchat

Not #osteoarch related, but here is my Sunday goal, fresh out of the oven!
As an archaeologist, I can’t help but marvel at bread’s role in human history—nourishing us for over 10,000 years and counting 🍞 Here's my contribution! 🙆🏻‍♀️

📢 A nice list of all nice people and o follow it you are interested in the #bioarchaeology of the human skeleton!

Thank you for making this!! 🤩 can I be added too?

Currently based in the Netherlands, I collaborate on projects across Europe and the Middle East. Always excited to connect with fellow researchers and enthusiasts—let's chat about the past! #Bioarchaeology #Paleopathology
