Brace yourself for Stefan Potente's talk! Blunt and sharp force are daily fare in contemporary forensics. Crossbows and sabres have mostly disappeared, but fresh bone injuries still raise questions — especially “fall or assault?” This Friday 16h in HS2 or get in touch for the Zoom link!

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Sie ist überall: die Rede vom #Spitzenforscher. Nur: Was soll das überhaupt sein? Über einen Begriff, der das Gros der Wissenschaftler_innen als zweitklassig degradiert & einem Geniekult zuarbeitet, der der Arbeitsrealität in der Wissenschaft weder angemessen noch zuträglich ist. ⬇️ #ArbeitInDerWiss

Are you a forensic anthropologist or other biological anthropologist who considers skeletal trauma interpretation part of your skill set?

We are running a study (survey, ~15 min) on how practitioners interpret skeletal trauma. It's kinda fun to do!

Sharing this with others is much appreciated 🤩

#NextGenSci asked young scientists to write a rule that all principal investigators should be required to follow to improve the experience of young scientists in their lab.

🚨NEW PAPER from the @eegcam.bsky.social!🚨I have never been as proud of something as of the work that finally we can share today: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... - we show how a climatically driven Pan African meta population model explains our species genetic and morphological diversity 🧬💀
