So rich as always, Chris. And I’ll definitely pop over to FantaGraphics and check out “Beta Testing…”

One of the co-founders of Colossal Biosciences is George Church. He’s been working in the wooly mammoth genome in his Harvard lab for years.

Unrelated to that, in the mid-2000s his research was funded by Jeffrey Epstein.

It amazes me how much your writing reflects the conversations I have with my family and friends as it relates to the river and the changing landscape/culture of Austin. I look forward to receiving your writing every Sunday morning.

Thanks so much, Colin! I think a lot of us feel that way, and if we can make connections we might even be able to influence how things develop.

Small worlds. Tim Rowe was working at UC Berkeley when I was doing my paleontological field work from there, surveying/exploring out in Montana. He brought a few of those California ex-pats to UT to set-up shop. Look forward to reading your forward to "Beta-Testing...".

That's so cool, James. He really blew my mind in that one hour, and had a permanent impact on how I think about ecology.

Excellent and thoughtful post, except I need a dictionary when I read your text. WB
