Latest paper out in @natsca.bsky.social with the brilliant Sophie Roberts, @ilichenmoss2.bsky.social

Latest paper out (and with a festive release date). Some discussion on #mycology, #eponyms, and #DNASequencesAsTypes It's a divisive issue but I hope the paper helps reframe the debate in a positive way
