It happened again
I've just read this fantastic article on the origin of University College London in opposition to the existing traditional religious universities of Oxford and Cambridge. UCL had no religious or age limitations, and offered education at a fraction of the costs. www.historytoday.com/archive/feat...

Let's not forget our optional fully-funded intensive module in field primatology in Tanzania. And from next year a new module in human evolutionary genetics co-taught with staff at UCL Genetics, Evolution and Environment. Come and study with us, and get in touch with me if you have questions!
Quick promotion post for our fantastic Master's programme in Human Evolution and Behaviour at UCL. Taught by a great team of evolutionary anthropologists and covering human evolution, human behavioural ecology, primatology, evolutionary medicine and more. www.ucl.ac.uk/social-histo...
New paper by PI Dr. Noreen von Cramon-Taubadel and former BHEML postdoc Dr. Lauren Schroeder! The human chin is a unique; investigating why and how it formed helps us to better understand ourselves and our lineage!

This whole thread really resonates. Especially on a day I was told I might want to postpone going for promotion, while working on the latest set of revisions of a paper and trying to support friends currently in less-than-supportive teams.

Lucy Van Dorp is one of the best scientists and people that I know. Join her lab, and do amazing work.
Barley in a cave in Uzbekistan, 9,000 years old, suggests foragers far from the Fertile Crescent were harvesting cereals long before farming took hold. A mosaic of innovation, not a single birthplace. #Archaeology #Agriculture #HumanEvolution @pnas.org
New research shows the human pelvis didn’t evolve gradually—it flipped its growth pattern 90° and rewired bone formation. These shifts let our ancestors walk upright and birth big-brained babies. #HumanEvolution #Anthropology #Bipedalism
Such a fantastic study by @tdcapellini.bsky.social's lab, showing how much pelvic bones development changed in humans in adapting to bipedalism. And so frustrating that their grant was terminated by the Trump administration less than half-way through, in retaliation to Harvard not playing along.
With alt-text: this will devastate US higher education in so many ways. And make US science, medicine and technology weaker but it will make it Whiter, which I suppose, is the goal. I did my PhD in Australia, with this same xenophobic 4-yr-PhD rule, and it was harrowing.

I have a new favourite heroine: Elizabeth Zott! I was guffawing on public transport this week reading this fantastic book. Unmissable, especially if you are a woman in science. Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus (her first book, written at age 65; so much to love)
