Another of our episodes which comes from Max reading a paper and going 'whoa...' this one is with the very charming Anders Rasmussen from Lund. 

His paper is here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38066477/

I am aware that the audio isn't great at the moment- I broke our old microphone and am trying to sort out a new one.
