So, on the shoe thing, my adoration of footwear started early. This is a photo of me aged three in 1974, a bridesmaid at the wedding of my adored uncle who died last year. By all accounts I stared at my shoes the entire day, just transfixed by their shiny light blue glory. The tale is still told today 😄

Close up of a 3yr old girl in mid-1970s blue bridesmaid dress, flanked by more 1970s fashions, staring at her shiny silk blue shoes. My mum is behind me in the brown and crochet. She hated brown, remindes her of school, so this is rare.

AlphaGenome: On the Promise and Limits of AI in Science
PHILIP BALL | According to the old story, we once thought that all this other DNA was just “junk,” a term coined in this context in the 1970s. It was accumulated over the course of evolution, for example by viruses inserting their genetic material into ours, and it did nothing useful but just cluttered up our genome the way all our old detritus of a lifetime clutters up our attic.
