Delighted to have been involved in this meta-analysis with a great team (not on Twitter) & @RichSkipworth

Surely this must be a magical compound if you need to wear hearing protection… Total Harry Potter flashback 😅

Very disappointed that @PNASNews addressed this apparent duplication with a correction.
"The editors determined that this apparent duplication does not impact the results" - WTH
Another sad day for science.

There's no better way to start the week than by hearing many interesting new results at our weekly lab meeting! Last week was exhausting so this is just what I needed 🥳

Thanks @BenThomasSci, Yoshiko, @KuanChanChen, Stefanie and Rachel for being a great team 🙂

A lot of work put into this, so glad to see it preprinted!
