Thanks @UshmaNeill for sharing. I watched the video many times today, and it felt Kathryn didn't really leave us. I wish the interview was longer.

C. Herschel (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caroli…) was the first woman to win the 🥇 from @RoyalAstroSoc. In the 1790s she wrote a catalogue of stars, which was published by @royalsociety in her brother’s name. This thread 👇🏽 is brilliant, as is @EmilyWinterburn’s book:amazon.co.uk/dp/0750980672/r…

There are over 10,000 species of reptile but no reports of gene editing in any of these species - until now! @arasys2 has successfully made gene knockouts in the brown anole lizard, Anolis sagrei! Check out our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
