An interesting read for folks who are interested: wapo.st/3S2X2LP 🧪🏺

A tiny tribe wanted to shape the future of a famed canyon. Ancient DNA helped.

The Picuris Pueblo tribal nation initiated a genetic study that confirms their connection to Chaco Canyon -- a potential model for Indigenous people to partner with scientists.

This is a very fantastic expression of an important point

We diminish so much with the ongoing cutting of higher education

Natalia Cecire @ncecire.bsky.social · Nov 23

The point is that at university you're meant to be taught by researchers. It's higher education because it's not just a static body of knowledge; researchers are the people who can teach you to make new knowledge yourself
