I had a wonderful time visiting University of Manitoba and sharing our research with the Biological Sciences Dept. Thanks to @oli_wilkins and colleagues for the generous reception. Brilliant science happening here and a beautiful campus.

I love reading undergrad student essays when they are imaginative and not (yet) encumbered by the strictures of (dull) scientific writing. Just this title from a student: "The secret life of latex: promoting pathogen susceptibility in land plants." I am hooked. 📝

The team's top musical artists of the year (as tallied by their music streaming app of choice). (KGLW is King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard... and "Victor 1" is too cool for the lab 👑🦎; also, don't judge me for Vampire Weekend.) #wrapped

The reason biologists in your timeline are furious by this PR: the idea that species that diverged millions of years ago have only 20 genetic differences defies the fundamental principles of evolution. Like saying you turned a Honda Civic into a Formula 1 car by changing the oil

The lab was out yesterday for brunch at Pigeon Cafe to celebrate the end of the semester; celebrating completion of MSc for Puneet, Honour's thesis for Victor de Guzman, and thanking our undergrad volunteers Victor Reyes de la Rosa, Margot Lamarque, and Andrew Park.
