🚨 New project funded! Thrilled to receive €1.4M from the @VWStiftung for “Archaeology of Hormones”—we’ll develop methods to detect steroid hormones in ancient bones to study fertility, reproduction & resilience in past societies. @unibonn 🔗 uni-bonn.de/en/news/135-2025

How fertile have humans been over the past 200 years?
