As part of the events of our week in Mexico City we also gave two keynote speeches at the National Museum of Anthropology of Mexico (MNA) within a series called "El uso del ADN antiguo en el estudio de la historia humana" (The use of ancient DNA in the study of human history). The talks were recorded and live-streamed and you can watch them on the INAH TV youtube page here. The round table following our talks focuses on the ethics and practice of ancient DNA research, especially within the context of Mexico and Latin America, and features a rockstar panel completely formed of great women scientists all at different career levels. This course was a fun and extremely rewarding experience. I learned as much from the students as they did from us. Really looking forward to the next adventure with our friends at ENAH! **Update**: October 2019The National Museum of Anthropology of Mexico (MNA) YouTube channel interviewed us about our work last May and the video was released this month! Check it out here: La investigación antropológica en tiempos del ADN antiguo (En español). I just returned from teaching a session about VCF format and variant filtering at the AGAR2018 workshop on using bioinformatics for anthropological genetics held at SUNY University at Buffalo by the American Association of Anthropological Genetics (AAAG). To download the original course materials written by myself and other colleagues go to the workshop GitHub page: https://github.com/Sagui-omics/AAAGs_2018. Awesome doctoral student Tina Lasisi (Penn State) wrote a blog post about the workshop, check it out here. To learn more about AAAG (and join!) their web page is here. |
