We finally decided to make the leap from that other bird app—because, well, the old nest started feeling too hostile to call home anymore.

Incisive 🏺thread - bone stored in a museum for decades shows greater DNA degradation and abundance of potentially deleterious bacteria than bone that had been left in the ground from the same site, suggesting museum storage had a detrimental effect on biomolecular preservation.
For approximately 4,400 years, until the late 1950s, Native Greenlandic Inuit populations from the Aasivissuit ("summer camp") area in West Greenland maintained an annual tradition of traveling inland to hunt caribou (Rangifer tarandus) and fish for Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus). (3/n)

‼️Hey histology people, Panagiota Bantavanou, PhD student from our team, just dropped a paper on age-at-death estimation of inhumed individuals using her fancy new histomorphometric method! Go have a look🔬 #anthropology #archaeology
Histomorphometric method for age-at-death estimation using the anterior side of the femoral midshaft
Age-at-death estimation on poorly preserved human skeletons is a challenging task. Histological methods in most cases can overcome this limitation and…
