Show PostThrilled to have been awarded the 2026 Philip Leverhulme Prize! 🏆 Big thanks to all lab members and mentors through the years! Very excited to explore some new mitochondrial avenues with this award. 🥳🔬🧬 @leverhulme.ac.uk @ucllifesciences.bsky.social @cloeucl.bsky.social @uclcber.bsky.social
Show Post🚨Super happy that our geoGraph preprint is out in the world! 🚨Check out this R package for modelling mobility and connectivity at different spatial scales 🗺️. A long collaborative effort from @eegcam.bsky.social led by Dominik (who also made the amazing figures). www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Show PostUltimately, we hope our analyses demonstrates the reliability of ancient coalescence-based inference as well as renewing interest in homo-Pan speciation ~5-6Mya. 10/10
Show PostWe argue that a parsimonious explanation for the contemporaneous peaks would be a period of complex speciation before final separation of Homo from Pan, in contrast to a scenario where these lineages diverge cleanly from a panmictic common ancestor. 6/n
