I'm pleased to announce that an article I wrote about elephant dung has been published in the Martlet. 

It is accompanied by a cartoon by Martin Rowson.

I'm pleased to announce we were awarded a grant from the NERC Biomolecular Analysis Facility in Sheffield. This will allow us to do exciting new sequencing work. We'll keep up updated with the progress!
