Continental influx and pervasive matrilocality in Iron Age Britain

Research in Nature suggests that women were at the centre of social networks in Iron Age British Celtic communities. The analysis of 2,000-year-old DNA reveals evidence for matrilocal Celtic societies, in which married women stayed in their ancestral communities.

Approximately 465,000 metric tons of methane were emitted from the 2022 Nord Stream subsea pipeline leaks, according to three studies in Nature and Nature Communications. This is the largest recorded amount of methane released from a single transient event reported to date, although it represents just 0.1% of anthropogenic methane emissions for 2022.

【Event】Seminar on “Nature – a 21st century journal for 21st century scholarship”

Contemporary research is increasingly collaborative, interdisciplinary and cross-sectorial. It can no longer afford to be secluded in the corridors of university departments; instead, it needs to be inclusive, relevant and well-communicated. It also needs to be shared openly. Since publishing needs to be seen as an integral part of doing research, contemporary journals such as Nature have a key role to play in supporting and enabling 21st century scholarship. In this lecture, Magdalena Skipper, Editor-in-Chief of Nature will explain how this is done.

[Date/Time] Feb 7 (Fri) 2025, 15:00-16:00 (JST)
[Location] Hybrid: The University of Tokyo, Hongo Campus (SMBC Academia Hall) & Online (Zoom)
