While scientifically we know that racial variation doesn't exist in our species, the perception of race has very real health consequences. Excellent new research out of UC Berkeley #IB35AC #HumanVariation
The UC Berkeley IB part of Team Monkey is officially on our way to #Ethiopia for 3 weeks of late pleistocene monkey evolution research in Addis. Looking forward to seeing @PaleoTesla soon!
#TeamMonkey is on a roll figuring out the Late Pleistocene #cercopithecids from the #MiddleAwash, #Ethiopia. I am so lucky to get to solve this paleo-puzzle with @ThePaleoCat @PaleoTesla Marianne Brasil and @RyanYohler (taking photos on the floor in the corner)
#TeamMonkey gets cozy during photography of one of our fav specimens. Clockwise from 1pm, let me introduce @PaleoTesla @ThePaleoCat Marianne Brasil @RyanYohler

Today #TeamMonkey went on an afternoon field trip to the #LucyCafe to get a #CocaCola and visit all the toroises that live around the Ethiopian National Museum. @ryanyohler Marianne Brasil @PaleoTesla @ThePaleoCat
#TeamMonkey has been without internet for a couple of days. But now we are back with an update. 2nd visit to the tortoises before @PaleoTesla leaves us to return to Zurich. The countdown is real. Marianne Brasil @ThePaleoCat @RyanYohler
Have you ever wondered how the relative sizes of your premolars and molars evolved across mammals? We are starting to unlock the mystery. Check out our just-published paper by @PaleoTesla @fuzzyatelin Marianne Brasil Peter Ungar & others. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
@PaleoTesla left 2 days ago. @ThePaleoCat and Marianne Brasil go tonight. The fossils are just about all put away. Its just me & @RyanYohler w/scanning & photos this week. #TeamMonkey 2019 has come to a close, and from the looks of it, just in time.
Homebound after an awesome research trip to the National Museum of Ethiopia with my #ScienceFamily. Photocred and major thanks to Wegen for helping keep us sane. #TeamMonkey #MonkeyMadness @ThePaleoCat @PaleoTesla @RyanYohler Prof. Leslea J. Hlusko
I am on the board of the new PCI Paleontology and want to point all my colleagues towards this new approach for publishing your fossil-related research. We get it reviewed & you post a clearly peer-reviewed paper on a server of your choosing. No fees no paywall, just helpful reviews!
When you get the chance, please read this powerful discussion with UC Berkeley IB professor Tyrone Hayes about his experiences with racism in academia... mercurynews.com/2020/09/13/bla…
Ahhhhhhh, your boy got featured by NatGeo!! Read up on how I work with my chipmunks as part of #TechniqueTuesday. Thanks for the shoutout National Geographic Society and make sure you’re keeping up with #BlackMammalogists week!
There’s a new feature out at At the Roots! Read to see how paleontologist Peter Kloess (Peter Kloess) studies turtles, why he loves teaching, and what he really thinks about board games #SciComm #PhDchat attheroots.org/kloess.html
