As of yesterday, you can get your hands on this highly anticipated work that critics* claim is a “real page turner…set to rock the world of non-fiction”.

I.e., my thesis is submitted.

Now to London for a mini-pupillage. First stop, the Royal Courts of Justice!

Aside: This is quite possibly the first time Essays in Biochemistry have published a poem in an article?!

The importance of theory and ideas (as well as data) for biology. By my @TheCrick colleague Paul Nurse

"Ideas, even tentative ones, are needed, along with the recognition that ideas will change as facts and arguments accumulate.”

It's fellowship season so I've spent the last few months reading lots of draft fellowships. There are some really common points of feedback that keep coming up, beyond general structural advice. I thought I'd put them here for anyone else who might benefit. 1/

This is an outstanding resource to identify neurons in C. elegans! We have successfully used this based on the preprint and the super detailed manual that Ev and co. prepared. Great applications in the paper too!
