Hopefully this leads to the use of emojis in scholarly articles in the field of biology.

I've used them in a grant application.

Please elaborate.

Was working on a conceptual diagram for something, needed a small representation of a dog, ended up using the emoji.

Got funded, so it must have worked :)

They work great in slides and figures if you are studying taxa that are sufficiently covered by the emoji set.
