One nice by-product of this election is that the @HouseScience twitter account will no longer be a firehose of climate change denial and anti-science propaganda.
Just for context, there was a stretch last year where @HouseScience linked stories from or RT’d Breitbart 4x as often as it shared stories from @nature or @sciencemagazine. That’s done now.
Good news, everybody: In a few months the @HouseScience account will be run by folks who actually support science, instead of climate-change deniers, part-time Breitbart columnists, and wild-eyed conspiracy theorists.

First of all, here's the actual article from Nature:

nature.com/articles/s4158…
The study focused on genome sequencing of 137 individuals on the Eurasian steppes divided into five extremely broad, genetically defined phases: 3000-2100 BC, 2100-1200 BC, 1200-200 BC, 200BC-600 AD, and 600-1500 AD. The second to last of which is just broadly called "Hunnic."
