I was recently interviewed by C2W, the science magazine for the Dutch chemistry and life science community, in order to give my “expert opinion” on an interesting study authored by Catherine Gilbert et al. in Science Advances.
The C2W article: Bovine bone or whale tooth? Collagen reveals ivory origins
The original research article: Catherine Gilbert et al., Species identification of ivory and bone museum objects using minimally invasive proteomics.Sci. Adv. 10, eadi9028 (2024)
Science communication to wider audiences is incredibly important. Scientific achievements deserve to and should be celebrated outside of the ivory tower (pun intended) of academia.
