Hey
@CAPA_ACAP
attendees! Pls, come by on Nov 6th and see our present. "Application of 3D scanning techniques for the digitalization of pre-Columbian crania collections". We present systematic results based on digital methods to digitize valuable

📢New paper alert! Our paper showcases the historical, digitization & curatorial efforts to preserve the Pampean fossils collection compiled by palaeontologist Santiago Roth in Argentina in late 19th–early 20th c.
Glad to collaborate on this project led by LATAM colleagues🧵⬇️
It has been an absolute pleasure to be part of this team for a few years now.
@anjgoswami
, you're a wonderful human and researcher, and I keep learning from you every time I'm around! 😍💪
And although this project is officially over, it never really ends, with amazing students, postdocs, and researchers building off of the results of the ADaPTiVE project, expanding to other clades, integrating other elements, improving fossil sampling & developing new methods 9/

Las cifras muestran bien claro lo que se constata en el día a día. La inversión pública de España en I+D+i está por detrás del resto de Europa.
Entre 2010 y 2018 la inversión pública en I+D+i en España bajó un 9.8%, mientras que de media en la Unión Europea subió un 10.5%.
