Sharing your work with the world: a workshop

Sat, 2009-03-07 15:39 -- John Hawks

I'm writing this post live from the Kaleidoscope program here at UW. My part of today's program is a workshop on sharing your work with the world, using blogs and other online tools.

For participants (or others), I thought I would provide a couple of links. I wrote about blogging and tenure here last year, a post that I followed up with a second part, but I haven't yet finished the series.

An earlier post also pointed to a 2005 article in Slate on the topic, along with some other articles.

Neandertals

For years, I've worked on their bones. Now I'm working on their genes. Read more about the science studying these ancient people.

Denisova

From a finger bone of an ancient human came the record of a completely unexpected population. My lab is working on the science of the Denisova genome.

Acceleration

The advent of agriculture caused natural selection to speed up greatly in humans. We're uncovering some of the ways that populations have rapidly changed during the last 10,000 years.

Malapa

Just outside Johannesburg, the Malapa site is producing some of the most exciting finds in human evolution. This site is the headquarters of the Malapa Soft Tissue Project.
