Really appreciate this comment. Thanks. I understood far more more reading it than 15 minutes spent on search engines trying to decypher the jargon.
(I think this is a testament to how much impact Chris Ponting jumping into the field has made, having a very renowned researcher like him in the...
I’m really liking Audrey Ryback’s work. Especially how she hedges her claims and doesn’t overstate findings. I really hope she stays in the field....
