Wonderful science week @cenieh.bsky.social for the Tied2Teeth @erc.europa.eu project & @coleccionrp.bsky.social

@erindunnscd.bsky.social came to #Burgos talk about her research into how teeth can tell us about risk for #Depression

Ratón Pérez's collaborators got to meet the Science Tooth Fairy!

A joy & honor to give a Distinguished Lecture at #IADR2025, sharing Tied2Teeth @etc.europa.eu research. Evolution provides a rich source of new ideas about biology.

This NY Times story really hits home on how careful scientists need to be when hyping their research.

Here’s a question I have long had for this de-extinction effort:

Should we spend lots of time and money on genome-mixing or invest those resources in conservation of the animals still alive?

I am excited to be the first speaker in AABA Argentina’s Primer Ciclo de Conferencias

April 8
“Human adaptation to the Arctic: a mystery solved by teeth”

This online series of *amazing* talks (incl @anthrofuentes.bsky.social) raises funds to support Argentinian science

Don’t miss out!

Happy Thanksgiving! We celebrated here in Spain by streaming the Macy’s Day parade while eating homemade cinnamon rolls and video calling with family in the US. So much I am grateful for these days, and I love having this day to pause and think about it all.

Academia (the website) is looking out for my aging brain. I probably should re-read my past papers as I likely forgot a lot of what I have written before. 😂
At least the algorithm shows my interests have been consistent for a loooong time!

16 days into #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth & decided to share what #BreastCancer looks like. Scar from my skin-sparing mastectomy. Scar from the sentinel lymph node biopsy (SNL). My first tattoos: dots that mark position for the 25 radiation treatments that start on Wednesday.
