Excited to share our recently published overview of the @ESTbiobank 🧬
We highlight the unique features of the biobank and the conducted scientific research, including the many recall studies that have been carried out over the years:

Last chance to apply for this amazing funded PhD position in the Netherlands! If you're interested in ancient dna or cutting edge ecology research, take a look!
PhD position alert! My collaborator @AnnegretLarsen, is hiring for a funded PhD position combining river science with ancient sediment DNA research! This is an awesome project, based in the Netherlands, and co-advised by me.

81 years ago, on March 9, 1944, the Soviet Union bombed Nazi-occupied Tallinn 🇪🇪.
The supposed target? The enemy.
The real cost? Hundreds of Estonian lives, a devastated city, and a clear message – Moscow never cared about “liberation,” only destruction.

We live free here in #Estonia 🇪🇪 thanks to brave men and women who stood up to tyranny and declared all peoples have the right to self-determination.
That’s why on Estonian Independence Day, as every day, we #StandWithUkraine.
Got a moment? Let us tell you a story. 🧵

Very happy to share the results of my @MSCActions project done at @UGI_at_UCL with @mt_genes and @pontus_skoglund from @TheCrick. We used ancient DNA to reveal remarkably high genetic diversity in the region of modern-day @Ukraine over the last 3,500 years until ~500 years ago.
