Delighted about this recognition for three brilliant colleagues and friends; I think I've known them collectively for 83 years! Have learnt a huge amount about science, leadership and how to be a great colleague from all three. Congratulations @timcoulson.bsky.social @stuwest.bsky.social & Kathy

I enjoyed the ecosystems depicted in the AVATAR movies, but there were a couple of things that bothered me. The evolutionary history of the Na'vi was a little bewildering. So I wrote an article about it for the Sloan Museum of the Moving Image scienceandfilm.org/articles/372...

Amazing what you can find in a wolf pup's stomach after 15,000 years. Woolly rhino DNA shows that despite a long decline to extinction, they maintained genetic variation. The eaten rhino did not die because it was inbred. theconversation.com/dna-from-wol... @jcchacond.bsky.social

DNA from wolf pup’s last meal reveals new facts about woolly rhino’s extinction

A new study shows the woolly rhino was not the inbred, genetically doomed species scientists had thought.

This was the first newspaper coverage of the discovery of the double helix, a few weeks after publication of the three articles in Nature. It mentions all those involved, except Rosalind Franklin. She was the only one to keep a cutting (this is from her archive at Churchill College).
