"For years, I worked hard to hide my history of homelessness. Now, I am more neutral—it was a challenging and sometimes unpleasant chapter, like puberty, or, more recently, learning Bayesian statistics. I am committed to not letting my history define me. But I also don’t want my colleagues to assume no scientist could have a past like mine." #ScienceWorkingLife scim.ag/4jAvtZd

Just out: some fish 🐟 lost their green opsins but evolved a functional alternative from duplicated red (LWS) opsins — much like the evolution of red-green vision in primates! 🔴🟢 Different lineages, similar evolutionary solutions! Go red opsins! Go gobies! Thks co-authors🤗
