My take:

Cow. It’s been a cow in every lab I have ever set foot in, and I have yet to meet a pig person willing to defend it out loud. The adapter has three outlets and one correct name.

My take:

Log it, proudly. Panel one: a student asks AI if the mushroom is edible. Panel two: the AI is apologizing at the graveside. A semester of AI policy PDFs says less than that gravestone does.

My take:

So what’s actually in the bottle? Mint and catnip, chamomile if you were lucky, according to the one audit that cannot be lobbied: 40 cycles and a sequencer.

My take:

Six samples planned with a bioinformatician in the room beat sixty samples you’ll explain to one afterward.

That’s the four. See you tomorrow morning.
