Gemmell in 2020

• ... that New Zealand geneticist Neil Gemmell (pictured) hunted the Loch Ness Monster to show how science works? Source: "The main driver of the project was to show how the science process worked." source

• Reviewed: Trees For Life (Australia)
• Comment: Scientifically, his work on sequencing of the tuatara genome is much more notable but it's very geeky, whereas hunting Nessie would have a much broader appeal (which is why he embarked on that exercise in the first place, I presume).

• This article is new enough and long enough. The image is suitably licensed, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:14, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
