We knew what we wanted for HollowHead's album cover: something based on the Welsh folk tradition of the Mari Lwyd. AI could have done it, but horribly. Nothing like making it for real. (Same with the logo.)

Alain, surely you known that all media reports on DNA are required to show it as left-handed? 🤨

Oh god, now I must.

Glorious - thank you.

I haven't looked into this closely enough to see whether anyone said in response that this is a very silly comment that makes no sense whatsoever. I suspect not, but it's time they did.

Maybe - they're obviously seeing this at the extreme end of the process. But I notice that some of the lineages seem only to share a common ancestor in the zygote.

Yes, good point. I also think an interesting question is why the organism as a whole is (in general) so robust to such profound genotypic diversity.

Fab, thanks!

I'd love to see that thing you've been working on Elise, whenever it's ready. Brigitte has written a fair bit about metaphors for the genome too, and I'm thinking about that a lot.

Kind of my conclusion too.

Equally devastating is Max's deadpan ending. 👏
