Stephen Matheson🌵🌲The **Behind the paper** series at the #PLOSBiologue blog at #plosbiology @PLOSBiology is always inspiring and interesting. The newest is about findings in extramedullary hematopoiesis in tumors and tells about how Derek Barisas (MD/PhD student at WashU School of Medicine) nurtured the project through the pandemic—the lab shut down 3 months after he started.
