So many great question but I also love how important it was to know I was having fun with my friends in the lab 😆 Teamwork is very important!🥼 🧬 #WomenInSTEM
The scientists of today meet the potential scientists of tomorrow. To celebrate International Day of Women & Girls in Science, we're sharing some interviews from one of our family events last year featuring Crick scientists @tait_frankie and Federica. #IDWGS

For those of you troubled by the JHE resignations, PaleoAnthropology provides a free #openaccess alternative, one of the reasons we published our #ZooMS Special Issue there. @ESHE_society
Our Special Issue is out, fully #openaccess in PaleoAnthropology! 7 studies on integrating #ZooMS and #Zooarchaeology, alongside an extensive introduction on challenges/potentials. Guest editors @geoffreymsmith, Karen Ruebens, @MathiotSinet, @FridoWelker. https://t.co/Zrd7nOhlD7
