More interesting and timely work from a brilliant group of researchers. The other side of the coin to the work from the Lambrechts lab or indeed the bug biome group.

I'm a big believer in the growth mindset and that generally it goes - Thoughts, words, actions, habits, behaviour, identity.

This must change.
