Bought this great hominid t-shirt at #AABA2026. As an unexpected bonus, it glows in the dark!
(And yes, I'm wearing it to my #bioanth grad seminar tonight.)

A 3D printed bust of Lucy in copper-colored plastic.
A blocky silver 3D print of Lucy standing with open palms.
A blocky 3D print of a gorilla with 3D prints of Lucy in the background.
Closeup of a silver 3D print of Lucy from the side. Behind it slightly out of focus is a copper colored 3D printed bust of Lucy. Far in the background and very out of focus is man loading chairs.
The latest #aaba2026 meeting was the best yet! I have so many highlights, from the art expo and silent auction to the education committee workshop and course seeing the fascinating talks and posters. I’m so glad my 3D prints were so well received.

On Friday night at #aaba2026, I presented the results of my master's thesis on Plio-Pleistocene South African hominin enamel-dentine junction shape. A big thank you to everyone who stopped by and gave me feedback!

I’m bummed that it’s the last day of #AABA2026, but it’s been a great conference experience once again ☺️

Congratulations Dr. Achorn and it is an honor to join you and the rest of the Cobb Prof Dev Grant awardees. I cannot put into words how seeing Dr. Cobb next to my name is so meaningful, knowing he paved the way for Black anthropologists. Thank you to the #aaba2026 as well.

First full American Association of Biological Anthropologists (@bioanth.org) meeting and I’m loving it—engaging, collaborative, and so welcoming (for me and my PhD student).
Also: therapy dogs!
We should make boop-able dog noses a standard feature of all conferences. 🐶

It’s so disappointing to hear that #aaba2026 accepted jonsbones/Bone Museum for a symposium. We should not be legitimizing a person who has sold indigenous remains and uses the remains of marginalized people from the medical trade as a prop for social media.
