Lovely to be quoted but how come ‘Ms’ King, not Dr or Prof? Being quoted in my professional capacity as the scientist who led the identification of the remains of King Richard III. Notice male Prof gets his title. 😉 Greig Watson Prof Alice Roberts💙 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Looooook at this! It’s Richard III by Syston Knitting Banxy! Obviously like to think that he would have been so chuffed to see himself in knitted form! 🤩

It was a great pleasure to host Richard Dawkins at the Edinburgh Science last night where we chatted about his latest book, The Genetic Book of the Dead. It’s an excellent introduction to his work if you’ve never read any of his books before, and beautifully illustrated by Jana Lenzová.
