I scroll so you don’t have to.
Thanks for the positive feedback to this week’s Nobel-specific special issues.
I hope you enjoyed reading about the impactful research done by this year’s awardees.
Please share them with fellow curious cats!
And if you have any specific topic that might benefit from a deep dive, let me know.
We did Venn diagrams a few weeks back. I have a couple of other ideas. But am always open to new ones. 😃
