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.

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
King's vice-chancellor: "It’s not that we are going broke teaching our students,it's that we are going broke fulfilling our mission of doing research and doing research-led and research-informed teaching."

Do Moose “Belong” in Colorado?
As moose multiply in the Rocky Mountains, decision-makers question whether the animals are endemic or invaders. Archaeology offers answers.
