An analysis of bracelets owned by ancient Egyptian royalty more than 4,500 years ago has found Egypt and Greece were involved in long-distance trade much earlier than realised.

Thank you for the invitation to return to the MUERI program.. if only for an hour!! It was such a pleasure relaunching this program earlier this year with @_MQ_WP & I’m super psyched to learn more about the research projects that students are working on this semester!
