We did something creative! Supported by the @ERC_Research @MSCActions and @TheLeakeyFndtn, we compared protocols for removing protein contamination for skeletal #palaeoproteomics!⬇️.
New publication! 🎉 Here you can read all about dog drool, bleach, and a probable Central Asian Neanderthal child:.

I am grateful to the many colleagues, both on here (if you're still around!) and elsewhere, who have contributed directly and indirectly to this study, as well as to @Globe_UCPH at the University of Copenhagen, which enables our palaeoproteomic explorations in human evolution.

This study would not have been possible without significant investments in ancient protein extraction and analysis methods. Amongst others, we are grateful to support from the @MSCActions, @ERC_Research, and @TheLeakeyFndtn.
