Goodbye Prof.
Today I am saddened by the news of this legend, Prof. Tim Darvill, passing. I've had the privilege to meet and work for him only briefly at the Sisters Long Barrow excavation, one of the coolest, most interesting digs I've ever been on, Thank you Tim.

It turns out...Komodo dragons have iron-coated teeth!

Their serrations and tips pop into the mouth with an orange hue. Using different techniques, we show that these iconic lizards have special iron-rich coatings on each tooth, keeping them razor sharp!

As it turns out, smoking alters the normal cementum growth pattern, and Valentina was able to distinguish active smokers and people who had smoked in the past.
And due to the growth rate of the cementum, she was also able to use this method to estimate age!

Also, listen to that explanation of why we concluded it was a male individual... I'm genuinely so proud of them, so bright! π€©π€©π€©
If I do end up in teaching, this whole experience would 100% be core part of that future decision.
Thank you again for this, it's been brilliant β€
