The end of an era of pitchers who you expected to pitch 100+ pitches and go 8 innings when they took the bump. Well done Tigers.

I was first introduced to this book by Fred Montague at the @uofubiology.bsky.social in a literature of ecology class. I owe a lot to Fred. His class and its reading list added depth to how I think about everything. I hope a version of it is still around in this day of “Utilitarian” education.

I am very serious about citing resources (ZFIN, Flybase, Wormbase, yeast, mouse, rat, human, etc) and asking authors to cite them precisely for this reason: the more we talk about them and cite them in our papers, the better chance we have at justifying why we should increase the budget 🧪

Guys, bros, … humans. Reach out to your people, either to give or get help/aid/support/interaction/a hang, whatever you need to call it. Just do it. You are not alone.

Exerpt from Encounter, C. Milosz
… And suddenly a hare ran across the road.
One of us pointed to it with his hand.
…
Today neither of them is alive,
Not the hare, nor the man who made the gesture.
… where are they, where are they going

Something to ponder this weekend. Do you use an LLM driven agent in your science/writing? If yes, does it have a a name? Do you give it credit (e.g. acknowledgements, authorship etc.) Setting aside the copy right/plagiarism questions, based on contribution to your work, does it deserve it? 🧪

Just sad news. Stan Gartler passed this week at 102 years old. There will be a couple of tributes linked here in a bit. But I just wanted to share. Stan joined Marshall’s lab after he closed his and shortly before I joined. We shared quite a few scientific interests, but Stan always checked in

We don't really do FCBD because we don't carry any big publisher comics anyway, but there are always free zines here, and sometimes the zines are comics! Have you picked up a copy of A Better World yet? It's free and has comics in it!

Display of free zines, pamplets, periodicals, etc, at the store.

Stack of "A Better World" zines, with covers Riso printed in green and featuring handwritten bubble text with the title and people enjoying a nice day out. A handwritten sign under the stack of zines reads, "Free! (for you from the Riff Raff League!" (whoever wrote this didn't include a closing parantheses...)

This was my thought. The Shannon entropy in the sequence is basically zero correct? And the only way to change the “stored” sequence would be thru a DNA -> RNA -> Prot pathway. Unless there is evidence of post-translation modification of a subset of Drt3b proteins within an individual org.

Still just fascinated with these Moka Pots from the games. Have a feeling I’ll be sketching more.

Two ink and water color sketches of performers dressed in Moka Pot costumes. One purple, and one dark pink. Lids as hats, base as skirt, and coffee chamber as body.
