I made this for my interview with Dr. Juliet Turner. Video is out soon!

@natecoevo.nature.com making this free to read in front of the paywall for a month. Thanks guys!

Brings back happy memories of ISBE 2024 where the conversation about this paper began.. great to see it out in @natecoevo.nature.com. Thanks to co-authors and to the organisers of that brilliant conference 🙏🏽. @bbmwong.bsky.social @stuwest.bsky.social, Suzanne Alonzo🫶, Sasha Dall, “Dr Cunningham”

Congratulations Hassan and welcome to the UK! I hope you can pop over to visit us in Oxford when you’re settled.

Thank you for highlighting this wonderful interview Harmit. I have also enjoyed using it as a procrastination-aid this morning!

No wonder some people are smiling!

Wonderful news. Read it, if you haven’t already- be pulled in by the human stories and somehow learn some science along the way. Perfectly pitched- I loved it. Congratulations Masud (great photo!) @newcollegeoxf.bsky.social @masudhusain.bsky.social
