Assistant Professor in Evolutionary Anthropology @UofT_Anthro. Examining how past humans adapted to their environments. Co-creator & co-host of @Humansin5.
Hello new followers! It feels like time for a re-introduction: Hi, I'm Dr. Michelle Cameron @UofT_Anthro, and I tweet mostly about anthropology, STEM, #scicomm, and my YouTube web series @Humansin5 with my collaborator @sldecrausaz (new episode every Thurs)!
Excited that the 2nd paper from my PhD, with
@thepotlady, @ProfDewar, and Richard Evershed is out today #OpenAccess in @SciReports. Have a read if you're interested in lipids pots and what they can say about LSA herder/forager diets in NW South Africa rdcu.be/c4rns
It happened! The paper from my undergrad research was published!
This work started my entire graduate school trajectory, with the absolute best team! If you're interested in twisty bones and feet, this is the paper for you. Read here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/shar…
