OK, can we just clear this one up. If you say "You can't be English if you're not white" that's racist. It's the literal definition of racism. You can't justify it. You can't intellectualise it with rubbish about Anglo Saxons and "what if I was in Japan". It's racist. That's it.

Echidnas are a difficult animal to breed in captivity, but scientists in Sydney have now managed it, which could improve our understanding of the evolution of pregnancy in mammals newscientist.com/article/258…
because I'm really good surfing the discourse, I've just watched The Odyssey. What a cracking films. It's fine that old stories are changed too reflect current themes and sensibilities. Art is living. Let a museum present an "authentic" version.

Fritz Kahn had an amazing eye to convey the beauty and magic of biology, Here, from “man in structure and function”, the way #evolution has shaped fish gills into various human organs. #Infographics before its time.
hike in the woods, a couple of brandy flips, homemade Peking duck, and a bottle of decent Riesling.
merry Christmas.
The Tucker group @CCRB27 is looking for a new postdoc to look at the interplay between the microbiome and the developing vomeralnasal organ. kcl.ac.uk/jobs/121845-postdo…

Timeline cleanse. LOOK AT HIM RUN!
New paper out! 🚨 We show that vampire bats use amino acids from a recent blood meal to fuel RUNNING - a rare mode of locomotion in bats ideal for stalking prey. I’d worry less about your neck and more about your ankles! 🧛🏻♂️ @WelchLab_UTSC @RSocPublishing

Congratuations James, Emily and co. Fascinating work!
Pleased that our paper on mammalian jaw evolution is out today in @Nature. First paper from James’ PhD arising from on-going collaboration with our friends and colleagues Pam Gill, @agu_martinelli, @MarinaBentoSoa2 and Cesar Schultz.

Scientists have found Komodo dragons, the largest lizards in the world, have iron coated teeth.
@AaronLeBlanc6 (@kingsdentistry) says the study gives us clues to how dinosaurs like the T-rex may have ripped apart their prey #ScienceatKings

Rishi Sunak has offered his resignation to The King but Keir Starmer has yet to be appointed as Prime Minister, so who's in charge? Me.

Bat folks! Do you have experience with Japanese bats? Or know anyone who does?
We've got a bunch of paid work coming up through July and August for people who can ID Japanese bats from audio. For more info see this link:

SCIENCE CAT
(my latest cartoon for @newscientist)
ALT Title: SCIENCE CAT Panel one: A black cat walks into frame wearing a white lab coat and carrying a clipboard and pen. Panels two, three, four: A mug sits near the edge of a table. Science Cat's pen appears from the right ans gently pushes it off the table. It falls to the floor and smashes. Panel five: Science Cat writes on the clipboard and thinks "Once again, the experiment confirmed my hypothesis, but further research in this area is required. Panel 6: Science cat leaves, thinking "I love science!"
