Hello new followers!
A bit about me:
I am a paleoantropologist more preocupied by how academia affects mental health than by publishing articles in impact journals. I proudly promote data sharing and open science initiaves and I LOVE teaching.

Just migrated from that platform formerly known as Twitter, so if you got a follow means I was likely following you over there.
Nice to see see you're over here as well!

Pelvis neandertal El Sidrón SD-1663: rasgos similares con otros neandertales, pero también afinidades con Homo anteriores, como ER 3228 (H. erectus) ➡️ Rango más amplio de variación pélvica dentro de los neandertales de lo que se conocía previamente.

This is a weird request, but anyone in Baltimore area want to help me collect tap water samples this summer? I can give you some vials, you go to a couple restaurants/grocery stores/public water fountains and we get some critical science done for forensic work

Yesterday we had an awesome day in UNESCO World Heritage Preda-Bergun route, in Switzerland 🇨🇭. This was thanks to the Institute of Evolutionary Medicine, UZH. Snow, sledging, unimaginable views, good company and a lot of fun! 😍 Fully recharged for the next few weeks!!

Gracias @mcotsar.bsky.social por tu compromiso y por esta oportunidad para visibilizar lo que nadie nombra el #11F. Ayer fue el día en el que las instituciones se limitaron a compartir la foto de investigadoras, “celebrando” no sabemos qué…donde cada vez hay menos espacio para la reivindicación.
Desde la Paradoja de Jevons nos hemos mojado y hemos publicado un artículo crítico para el después del Día de la Mujer y la Niña en la Ciencia. Mucho por hacer. Muchas gracias a todas las investigadoras que han contribuido con sus palabras www.elsaltodiario.com/paradoja-jev...
Cambiar todo para que no cambie nada: un día para la ciencia, 364 días para la precariedad

The International Day of Women and Girls in Science is always a bittersweet one: it is time for awareness of the benefits of gender equality to advance science, but when we are promoting scientific careers... what careers are those?
