1) I am delighted to present this terrific tour de force research conducted by my post-doc Dr. Gayani Senevirathne @gayani.bsky.social and published today in Nature - www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Teaching biology in the old days relied on large posters. Often beautiful and poetic art pieces. When a chair of @genevunige.bsky.social dept, in Geneva, we digitalised our huge collection (catalogue raisonné). Why? I dont' know. The strange feeling these things should not disappear. Yet they will.
