First Person interviews
Have you seen our First Person interviews with the early-career first authors of our papers? The authors talk about their work in and out of the lab, the journeys that led them to where they are now and the scientists who inspired them along the way. Recently, we caught up with first authors Bouchra Khalaf, Bapi Sarker, Amrit Bagchi and Tak Shun Fung.
