Four sailors from doomed Franklin expedition identified through DNA

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have identified the remains of four more crew members of Sir John Franklin’s ill-fated expedition

HELLO

[i-am-countess-olivia]

I’m so psyched for @alongblank being credited in this research 🎉🎉🎉 Congrats pal!

[alongblank]

Thanks!

Looks like the cat's finally out of the bag! Last year I was able to assist in identifying 4 (FOUR?!?) members of the Franklin expedition! I researched Bridgens, Young, Orren, and Peglar, and was able to find and contact living descendants of their families who agreed to do DNA tests!

The paper about the three from Erebus is live online in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports. The second about Peglar is with the Polar Record and should hopefully be coming soon today! And I'll have something up on my blog about it soon, too!

my favourite part of the apothecary diaries is jinshi freaking out over maomao's impulsive freaky tendencies (but he's lowkey into that)

jinmao in a nutshell:

[justshipsandstuff]

This beautiful man is battling demons

[doorp]

maomao is not the bisexual representation the people asked for and honestly she is not the bisexual representation the people needed, I really dont know what that thing is but no one living or dead has the power to stop her. She showed the emperors concubines elicit porn. She met a woman with tits so huge that she completely ignored everything the woman was saying for a full minute to stare at them silently. She put her androgynous boytoy in a dress and made him dance. Grabbed his dong and called it a decent sized frog. And she did all of this while practicing medicine illegally. Feminism wins

the charm of the great chain of things is that you'll see reptile keeper circles recommending isopods as a cleanup crew in your enclosures and then you'll go look into isopods and there is a whole separate community where their main event is the isopods themselves and pet isopod care and they recommend also keeping springtails as a cleanup crew for the isopods and you look into springtails and there is a whole separate community where their main event is the springtails and they're posting photos of springtails and going They're soooooo cuuuute

happened to my good friend The Franklin Expedition

[saltshroud]

I held him, crouching there in the snow, while he died. They let me do that.

happy valentine's day specifically to ernest shackleton and his inability to stop triple-texting his crush

12th Feb (letter): ‘Come, Billy. Don’t say No till we have had a talk. Don’t say No at all.’

14th Feb (telegram): ‘The expedition will be a thousand times better with you there.’

15th Feb (telegram): ‘am making you a proposition which you might arrange’

15th Feb (letter): ‘I wired you to-night, but wires and letters are all too feeble to express what I feel’

‘I said I would do anything if I could get you’

‘Heaven knows how I want you—but I admire you more than ever for your attitude’

‘A man rarely writes out his heart but I would to you’
