So excited to have received an #HFSPResearchGrant to study trilobite eyes with Luke Parry @oxuniearthsci.bsky.social and Gil Ju Lee (Pusan National University)!🥳

I'll be recruiting a postdoc @bristolbiosci.bsky.social - if 3D data, optical modelling, and fossils tickle your interest, stay tuned!

🧪 This #HFSPResearchGrant consortium has officially kicked off!
The project explores how chromatin’s physical properties shape genome organization, gene activity, and disease.
