#DISPERSALS
Check the work of our team on ancient dispersals, featuring @alexislicht.bsky.social and the @dispersal-erc.bsky.social project!
How did mammals cross oceans millions of years ago?

Our first video introducing the ERC-funded DISPERSAL project is live on YouTube 🎉

A geographically very large country that has historic population dispersals in many of modern countries of moderate distance from it in the present, but happens to have the "right" politics

There's a much more interesting story in there about how, exactly, archaic humans interacted with their environments: whether they were careful stewards or environmental arsonists, whether that explains the multiple different dispersals and die-offs we see in the genetic/archaeological records, etc.

The seventh night of protests in Tbilisi was indeed calmer than the previous ones.

No dispersals, no special means, no confrontation with law enforcement.

🥸 uh something something mylenation of the mitochondriaric nebula if and when, of course, the recursory bioactivators of the autophagic toxin dispersals are then met with a kinetic distribution

Do you know the poignant song from Les Mis “Empty chairs at empty tables”?

Today marks the start of Women's History Month, and an opportunity to encourage you to pick up great books that touch on the history of women, including LESBIAN LOVE STORY by Amelia Possanza, DISPERSALS by Jessica J. Lee and AIRPLANE MODE by Shahnaz Habib!

Mass forced dispersals from urban to rural work camps... I believe the next step historically is to start shooting people that wear glasses
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

It’s the same in Canada, because (as seems to be the case from what you are saying) although there is federal legislation regulating Education is managed at the provincial/territorial level, including policy, curriculum, funding dispersals, etc.

In fourteen essays, Dispersals explores the entanglements of the plant and human worlds: from species considered invasive, like giant hogweed; to those vilified but intimate, like soy; and those like kelp, on which our futures depend.

My bad, it was 185,000 years ago:

Homo sapiens migrated from Africa to Europe in several waves, with significant movements occurring around 70,000 to 50,000 years ago, although some evidence suggests earlier dispersals may have happened as far back as 185,000 years ago
