It's publication day of my first book: The Tree of Life. The tree of life is a time machine that can take us back 4 billion years to meet our most distant ancestor. It is the magic that lets us tell the origin stories, beginning with this ancient relative, of everything from mushrooms to man.

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

It’s so frustrating to see people hide behind the excuse of scientific & political neutrality. @royalsociety.org need to step up & show leadership by expelling a man who is not a scientist & is hell bent on destroying science. Otherwise what’s the point of them? 🧪 www.theguardian.com/science/2025...
