#DavidAttenborough overtakes 100 today - wonderful. His first BBC programs came out the year my father was born; today I am reading his books with my son who has the whole series on his shelf. What a fantastic legacy. Global love and respect.

hands up if you've never seen a decent paper ruined by ludicrously expensive, statistically underpowered, fundamentally flawed "Figure 6: translational relevance", and wondered what the first authors thought about allocating all that extra time and money to it

No science here: add our lab handle @thornsesholdlab.bsky.social instead #ChemBio This account only for personal opinions, inane science jokes, and to follow: • people outside science • people I've shared a meal or a paper with • 10 scientists I wanted to meet but didn't get to yet see you!
