I escaped poverty because I am a scientist.

And I am a scientist because of the National Science Foundation.

To be clear, VP Vance has said "the professors are the enemies" and "we have to honestly and aggressively attack the universities in this country."

Direct line from that to shutting down NIH and NSF panels - the GOP is happy to end cancer research if it means "owning the libs"

Very excited (and a bit nervous) to announce that I will be hiring two Postdocs for my new group(!) in Copenhagen to study the Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA which survives in present-day humans. Retweet will be much appreciated :)

Today's #Laboratory ⚒️🧪 Adventure was convincing an automated sampling table to do dozens of repeat measurements of chemical composition in several reference materials. A great way to calculate analytical uncertainty and certainly *way* better than doing it manually. 🤖

Brief communication: New method for measuring nitrogen isotopes in tooth dentine at high temporal resolution Nitrogen isotope curve demonstrating the initiation and completion of nursing in a human child.

New method for measuring nitrogen isotopes in tooth dentine at high temporal resolution. We demonstrate that developmentally informed SIMS measurements of N isotopes minimize time averaging and can be precisely related to an individual's early dietary history!
