I find it strange, and deeply ironic, that a year on, an otherwise fine article still boasts an obviously doctored photograph of NI Vavilov. Seriously, who thought that was a good idea? See Nikolai Vavilov as he never was: A true scientist does not deserve a fake photo.
I hadn't realised one of the bloggers I used to follow had suddenly died a while ago (because I stopped following him). Today, though, I was reminded of something he wrote not 6 but 16 years ago that is remarkably prescient. RIP @LanceMannion
