    Children of Bob

    July 30, 2020 /

    Another from 2008. My take on the concept of the most recent common ancestor (MRCA), and specifically on "Y-Chromosome Adam," the counterpart to "Mitochondrial Eve."

    Anousheh

    July 30, 2020 /

    An original from 2006, when Iranian-American engineer (and Plano resident) Anousheh Ansari flew as a paying passenger to the International Space Station.

    Ghost O’Clock

    July 28, 2020 /

    Inspired by the sixth season of the revived "Doctor Who," the second with Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor. A recurring bit in those episodes was a children's rhyme with the line "Tick, tock, goes the clock," which I at first misheard...

    Idiot Ball

    July 28, 2020 /
