It is with great pleasure to announce that Laura Martín-Francés has been recently awarded the prestigious EU funded Marie Sklodowska-Curie Global Fellowship with a project titled “Bite’s evolution: a biomechanical study of Pleistocene humans in Europe” (288,433€). This is a collaborative research project between Monash University, the Spanish National Research Centre on Human Evolution (CENIEH), and the Complutense University of Madrid. Laura will use advanced imaging and engineering techniques to better understand how the dentition of our oldest European ancestors from the Atapuerca archaeological site (Spain) adapted to cultural and dietary changes. Laura will join Monash University for 24 months to work with the Palaeodiet Research Lab Team.
