I am a molecular paleo-ecologist. Interested in good science, especially genetic studies. I tweet about science mostly.
- Reposted by Mikkel Winther PedersenOur new study is out! We analysed DNA preserved in buried river sediments and Neolithic sites (Serbia), uncovering past landscapes and traces of sturgeon populations. Read more about our findings and the challenges in such complex and dynamic contexts: doi.org/10.1038/s415... @mikkelwp.bsky.social

- How have we impacted the seas around us? and for how long? This series of papers use a wide array of multidisciplinary approaches to address these questions. Super proud to be part of this special issue.!!
