John Wells was born in Hammersmith, a district in west London, where he spent most of his childhood and teenage life. It was a surprise to find out only recently that he had received a scholarship to Latymer Upper School on King Street which is literally one block away from where I used to live when I started working at the Natural History Museum in the early 1990s. The site has a long history and can be traced to a charity school founded in 1624 by the English merchant Edward Latymer, a wealthy lawyer and puritan, who left part of his wealth for the clothing and education of eight poore boyes from Hammersmith.

Understanding the origins of novel, complex phenotypes is a major goal in evolutionary biology. Poison frogs of the family Dendrobatidae have evolved the novel ability to acquire alkaloids from their diet for chemical defense at least three times. However, taxon sampling for alkaloids has been biased towards colorful species, without similar attention paid to inconspicuous ones that are often assumed to be undefended.

The immune system is a key player in the onset and progression of neurodegenerative disorders. While brain resident immune cell-mediated neuroinflammation and peripheral immune cell (eg, T cell) infiltration into the brain have been shown to significantly contribute to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, the nature and extent of immune responses in the brain in the context of AD and related dementias (ADRD) remain unclear. Furthermore, the roles of the peripheral immune system in driving ADRD pathology remain incompletely elucidated.
