It’s been an absolute pleasure to be part of TSL for this long. I’m very grateful to everyone I’ve met along the way—I’ve learned a lot. I’ll miss TSL and Norwich so much. Tons of mixed feelings, leaving Norwich behind, and the excitement of new adventures ahead🇨🇭✨
After eight years at TSL, we say an emotional farewell to @dianagdlc who will, without doubt, continue to make fantastic and insightful discoveries in Zürich with Cyril Zipfel

@aditharun_ Fantastic paper from a powerhouse team. But we really need to move away from focusing on number of authors, number of citations and brand of journal as metrics of awesomeness.
