CIVIS3i-MSCA fellow at @SapienzaRoma & @CpgSthlm, funded by @HorizonEU. Doing ancient DNA stuff! #H2020
Joined March 2011
Grateful to @MNCN_Col for granting me access to the last surviving specimen (from 1857!) of the famously extinct snakes from the tiny Columbretes islands. Excited to recover aDNA & study evolution in this harsh climate. Big thanks to @BolinCentre for the RT4 seed money! 🐍 #aDNA

Interesting piece. Also, turns out the Segorbe Giant really was a giant! Or at least very, very tall in his context. I'll take this chance for little cheeky self promotion:

The European Genome-Phenome archive is embarrasing. Difficult to link data to the submitter. Unclear instructions. Not curated. Files are virtually inaccesible. Applications go unanswered for months. Frustrating.

It makes you think about to whom we owe what we have today. So, to quote Monty Python, what have the Romans (and not only the Romans ) ever done for us? A lot! People of Mediterranean have been all over (since forever) and that seems to be the norm.
