I am deeply honored to have had this opportunity. The experience has been truly transformative. I am eagerly looking forward to the impactful outcomes of this visit and the contributions it will bring to paleo proteomics research in South Asia. Thankful to all the staff at Douka/higham Labs.
@heasvienna.bsky.social has been delighted to host Dr Bhavna Ahlawat over the last few weeks. She's our first international jnr intern. She is applying cutting-edge palaeoproteomics to ancient bone from the subcontinent for the first time.
