✨My first first-author paper is finally out! ✨ This work has been years in the making and the culmination of hard work from the whole co-author team! There are so many new questions to answer, and I'm so excited to see how the wider research community will build on these findings. 👇

...and that's the end of the 1st @ukdri.ac.uk #SCMND 🧠 Had a fantastic few days in Edinburgh: met lots of lovely people, had so much fun working with the brilliant organising committee, & I'm leaving with a brain crammed full of new ideas about stem cell models! 🤯
