Last week, our group travelled to Maputo, Mozambique, for PANAF 2026 🇲🇿! We had a great time sharing our research through talks, catching up with collaborators, and making new connections across the community. Thanks to everyone who made the conference such a stimulating and enjoyable experience! 🌍

Our colleague Francesco Giannelli presented this great poster at #SMBE2026: Reconstructing the Bantu Expansion Through an Individual-Based Simulation His work uses SLiM forward-time simulations to jointly model genetic and linguistic evolution among Bantu-speaking populations. 🧬 🗣️ 💻
