Empathy and kindness are becoming rather rare traits these days. There is nothing more important than treating each other like the finite mortal short-lived nociceptive beings we are. A life lived in apathy feels so much shorter and far too cold.

I am so happy about this you would think I won the award myself. What a well deserved honour for pioneers of the field.
Professor Susanne von Caemmerer FRS and Professor Graham Douglas Farquhar FRS are jointly awarded the Royal Medal (Biological) 2025 for refining the ways we monitor and model photosynthesis in leaves from molecular to global scales. #RSMedals https://royalsociety.org/medals-and-prizes/royal-medals/
