Congratulations to Dr Sarah Barakat who passed her PhD viva today! Sarah’s doctoral research has made a major contribution to our understanding of the use of sulfur isotopes in tracking range use in Late Pleistocene fauna. Well done Sarah! (And here’s the obligatory theme cake…)

So excited to announce the publication of this paper which is the first to come from my PhD! Combing data from the PleistoHERD and DeerPal project we analyse carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur in ungulate bones from the Aquitaine Basin dating between the Ante-Quina and Quina periods.

I’m a ZooMS convert! Can’t wait for us to be able to do this more regularly in Aberdeen!

Very excited (and a bit nervous) to announce that I will be hiring two Postdocs for my new group(!) in Copenhagen to study the Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA which survives in present-day humans. Retweet will be much appreciated :) Link for application: candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI...

Last week I attended the 2nd IZAZ meeting on methodological advances and novel applications in ZooMS and had the absolute best time! Thank you so much to the everyone there for making an isotopes person feel so welcome! I’m very exited to learn more about how I can use ZooMS in the future!

🧬🔬 Smart science from Heikkilä & Barakat: Maximizing collagen samples by combining #ZooMS & isotope analysis on the same extracts from Late Pleistocene France. Efficient methods = more data from precious samples! #IZAZ2024

Two researchers (Raija Heikkilä & Sarah Barakat) presenting a talk titled 'Integrating ZooMS and stable isotope zooarchaeology: A case study using lyophilized collagen extracts from Late Pleistocene France'. The slide shows logos of collaborating institutions including Leverhulme Trust, Max Planck Society, Collège de France, University of Aberdeen, and University of Reading. A decorative graphic shows blue dots connected to animal silhouettes.
