I am starting a computational lab at LIOS, Riga, Latvia, and going to recruit a few people. Please DM if you are interested in a postdoc or PhD position in my Metabolic Research Group within the TARGETWISE project. I can highly recommend Riga, it is a beautiful city with very good living conditions.

Don't miss the AaRC pre-ISBA event on the 26th of August - anyone interested in ancient DNA in animals is welcome to come along.

And if you didn't get a talk at ISBA itself, submit an abstract here!
Come and Board the AaRC at #ISBA2025 in Torino, Italy. Are you presenting a poster and want more people to see it? Come and share it with us! We'll have a set of Short Talks, a Round Table and some time for networking. If you are in Torino on the 26th of August, please drop by!

In this comment piece with James Fellows Yates and Christina Warinner (@christinawarinner.bsky.social), we highlight the mounting problems with data archiving and metadata reporting in ancient DNA research. The field cannot afford to keep neglecting this issue.
