One of my favourite episodes to script so far 😎

"A seemingly random collection of features that look like they pressed the evolutionary shuffle button a little too enthusiastically."

Find out what the duck-billed platypus genome can teach us about mammalian evolution & the origins of one of the world's most unusual animals.

Just wondering if there's a call centre on the planet that ISN'T experiencing a high volume of calls?

Lessons learnt: 1. You can apply your scientific mindset to fields that seem far removed from each other and 2. Be humble and bug people with your questions 3. Be confident in your abilities!

Today I came across this interview with Walter Gilbert talking about his transition from a PhD in theoretical physics to a Nobel for his work in molecular biology (then business and then art!) https://t.co/jxUaXjrDrZ

@Kat_Arney Our healthcare providers were really smart and set up Thora's 2 year checks online. Then they failed to turn up or have any record of the appointment they sent us. Twice. 👏👏👏

@guardian No one should be abused or spat on. I do wonder, though, why this is a lead story when Danish families being abused and spat on was a small side story? Ingrained xenophobia at @guardian ?

[Emily Nordvang @EmilyNordvang]

@guardian @UEFA @wembleystadium and @metpoliceuk should be ashamed of themselves for not bothering to protect these families and children

@DoreenPastor1 @GregoryDowling1 I'm English (my partner is Danish and took our 8 year old daughter to the match), and I'll be rooting for Italy on Sunday. Can't support a team with fans like that.

@Gareth_Davies09 How about giving us a bank holiday if the fans manage to control themselves and not spit on any italian children?
