Working with @zaminiqbal.bsky.social is a highlight of my time at EMBL-EBI.
He's an excellent storyteller and can make even the most technical topics accessible!
Listen to him explaining bacterial evolution using griffins 🦁🦅 (from minute 12).

Talking to @zaminiqbal.bsky.social about plasmids and bacterial adaptability was a delight. A brilliant metaphor every other sentence, almost.
If you can't face reading War and Peace or my massive thread, I was interviewed on BBC Science in Action, you can hear me 12 mins into this episode (we are not the headline paper, which was on autism):

What if you could get a glimpse of the future of your health, today?
Our scientists have developed a new generative AI model, trained using large-scale health records, that can estimate how human health may change over time.
Watch to find out more.
