We show microbes co-migrated with humans out of Africa; three independent methods agree, and timing matches archaeological / genetic evidence (Fig. 4c). Seeing Fig. 4c for 1st time was one of my most memorable "eureka" moments! doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Show PostGreat to see OneBenthic data underpinning new research on how climate change may reshape marine biodiversity in the North-East Atlantic. A great example of how bringing benthic datasets together can enable new science. 📄 doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aee7253
