1/ So pleased to share our paper on genetic adaptation to micronutrients in humans! Our biggest conclusion? Trace minerals in the diet have shaped human evolution far more than previously appreciated 🧬🌍👇

12/ TLDR: we identify widespread signatures of positive selection associated with 13 different micronutrients at different timepoints in human evolutionary history, suggesting that micronutrients have been a powerful selective force in modern humans 🧬🌎🍎

11/ Side bar: this work was done as our chapter of my PhD, under two incredible supervisors (@AidaAndres & @scastesparraka), and I hope some of the joy of my time at @UCLchildhealth & @UGI_at_UCL translated into the paper (but not too much, it is a scientific article after all).

Here's my submission for this month's Agora Anin-challenge. I made this in my spare time over 3-4 weeks. All of the 2D effects (expect for the explosion) were animated using simple Maya geo. I had an absolute blast making this- Enjoy!
