Super excited that @pollardmd.bsky.social made the cover of @genomeresearch.bsky.social for his work linking genomic variation to continuous changes in animal/plant-eating in mammals! It was such a pleasure to work with Matthew and @eepuckett.bsky.social on this. More here: bsky.app/profile/eepu...
