Best thing I learned today: There is a character in the DC comics that is called "Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man"! He can change any part of his body into animal, vegetable, or mineral forms. And "[i]n most appearances, he possesses extensive knowledge of biology" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal-...).

Last November, I gave an online talk at the MINT Lab in Murcia about my dissertation project. You can read about it in this nice blog post: www.um.es/mintlab/inde... Thanks @luciacneco.bsky.social for the invitation and thanks to the group for their interesting questions and comments! 😊🌱 #HPBio
