New review out in the International Journal of Paleopathology (@Paleopatholog10), led by Jennifer Lowell. Micro-CT can image ancient human remains at near-cellular resolution. But it is used almost only for bone..what about soft tissue? doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpp.2026.…

Construction begins on our new aDNA lab at @VanderbiltU, with thanks to @VanderbiltVinse and Vanderbilt Center for Antibody Therapeutics! With VINSE, we converted a cleanroom into a dedicated aDNA facility: labdesignnews.com/content/cl…

So grateful to be part of the amazing @VanderbiltU @VandyValiant team! piped.video/watch?v=_1n78-6p…. See our team X-ray historical bone samples at 2:25. #Radiology #Bioarchaeology

Curiosity and rigor open new paths in radiology. Katherine Van Schaik, MD, PhD, shares how studying health over time connects the past to patient care today. In her conversation with rising M4 MD/PhD student, Atlee Witt, Dr. Van Schaik gives insight to her unique career path and how your unique journey can start with curiosity. ✨ Filmed and edited by: Anthony Czelusniak @HistRadBioArch @AtleeWitt #RSNAUnscripted #Radiology #MedEd #RadRes #CareerAdvice
