1639746341596282880 | What a fantastic talk by @edyong209 at #anatomy23 @AnatomyOrg!

Scientists with ME try and tackle ME/CFS (+LC) via self-experiment microbiome modification. It's such an interesting and important story. | 4 |
1639724476878168068 | Still don’t know if the chicken or the egg came first, but @edyong209 is explaining how bees 🐝 came before flowers 💐, and thus the colours of flowers actually evolved to be best perceived by the eyes of pollinators (and not vice versa). How neat! #anatomy23 https://t.co/1z19o2l5lj | 3 |

1640731571144499207 | OK, so I would like to thank #ScienceTwitter for the highlight of my scientific career- being quoted by @edyong209 on animal pain, in this fantastic book, thanks to an email conversation that sprang from a tweet of his in 2019.

1639728766493638656 | Leading theory about why zebra stripes: they confuse biting flies (e.g., horseflies). Something about them seems to mess with fly vision making it hard for them to ‘stick the landing’ 😂 The @AnatomyOrg members are grateful for the insight, @edyong209!! ❤️ #anatomy23 https://t.co/3bVxkpUYHO | 21 |

1638560525322731520 | Wondering what you should do at night when you can’t sleep? Instead of getting frustrated about insomnia, listen to an audiobook! My go-to is @edyong209’s Immense World. But this👇🏼 is a good option too 😁 https://t.co/obPIYdbuN9 | 16 |
