I am halfway through Metamorphosis. It is a fantastic book! Lots of interesting history told in a very engaging way.
Very excited for the arrival of Oren Harman’s latest book.

Few combine deep knowledge of the history of biology with such compelling writing.

Great new postdoc fellowship for foundational plant research.
If you’re into genetics and genomics of plant reproductive evolution or adaptive convergence (incl in the cool and charismatic nightshades!) I’d be happy to talk about possible projects!

Delighted to share our systematic review
revealing significant associations between child protozoan infections and stunting, esp Cryptosporidium spp. & Giardia spp., although data on the impact of maternal infections were lacking and mixed.
