- I sorta knew, but it's a disturbing read, also thinking about parallels in science. I recently had a reviewer for my proposal say that they recognise my (male) invited collaborators & their work but not me, just as a small personal example. My gender, name or both? edition.cnn.com/2025/11/18/s...

- Reposted by Lee Hsiang Liow （廖珕庠）Glad to see our phoronid genome study featured on the cover of @currentbiology.bsky.social! It shows how genome structure can be used to test competing hypotheses of nested topology and how derived structural changes provide evidence for monophyly. www.cell.com/current-biol...
