Had a great Sunday afternoon at Ulster Museum at a packed event speaking about my recent book with Hugh Odling-Smee. This was my second event at this year's @niscifest.bsky.social, and hopefully I'll be invited back next year for more!

Ancient human remains uncovered in a Co Londonderry bog are believed to belong to a young woman who lived around 2,000 years ago.

The discovery has been hailed as β€œone of the most important archaeological discoveries on the island of Ireland”.
