I was reviewing a paper today and explicitly tried to summon my inner @MicrobiomDigest to spot any duplications I didn't see any, but before following her on Twitter, it would not even have crossed my mind to actively search for duplication

In August 2023, I will join @CMR_QUT in Brisbane (Australia) and I'm very excited to join the great team they have there! My scientific interests remain the global microbiome (including small proteins), with a mix of method development and applications projects
