TRAVELLING WITH DEATHREVOL: ANDENNE AND LIEGE (BELGIUM)
On this trip to Belgium, we had the opportunity to study the Scladina fossil remains at EMA – Andenne Museum Space and the Engis fossil collection at Evolution & Diversity Dynamics Lab of the University of Liège. Thanks to the hospitality of Dominique Bonjean and Valentin Fischer.
In the picture you can find the sculpture of Philippe-Charles Schmerling, located at the University of Liège. Schmerling was the discoverer of the first Neanderthal fossils in history in the Engis caves in Belgium. One hundred years after Schmerling’s death, the Engis 2 skull was classified as Neanderthal, thus becoming one of the most iconic fossils in the history of Paleoanthropology, placing Schmerling among the pioneers of this discipline.
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF WOMEN AND GIRLS IN SCIENCE 2024
Today, February 11, we celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science with a tribute to our earliest predecessors. The Tabun 1, a Neanderthal woman whose remains have revealed valuable secrets about our evolutionary history. Did you know that Dorothy Garrod was the first woman to hold a professorship at Cambridge University? From pioneers who defied barriers to the bright young minds leading the way into the future, every woman in science inspires.
