I love this webcomic and you should all give it a read
It is my birthday! What I would love more than anything is for folks to share or read my webcomic, leave a nice note, or even make fanart if you're feeling crazy -- although for the few kindness overachievers, I have a Throne link in my profile. Mostly I'm just looking forward to a nice day <3
Hey #meetthewebcomic! I make the hopepunk fantasy comic, #Tamberlane.

A town full of woodland creatures finds a human child... and has no idea what it is!

1/10 Genome maintenance by telomerase is a fundamental process in nearly all eukaryotes. But where does it come from?

Today, we report the discovery of telomerase homologs in a family of antiviral RTs, revealing an unexpected evolutionary origin in bacteria.

Antiviral reverse transcriptases reveal the evolutionary origin of telomerase
Defense-associated reverse transcriptases (DRTs) employ diverse and distinctive mechanisms of cDNA synthesis to protect bacteria against viral infection. However, much of DRT family diversity remains ...

We both love Grograman, The Many-Colored Death, from the Neverending Story book, so he asked me for my interpretation. Whatever Grograman touches crumbles into burning multicolor sand, and he changes to the color of whatever dune he's standing on

Ok guys, I made a little cave painting simulator! This is a little minigame where you can draw on a cave wall, using colors inspired by the pigments used on cave art. You can also paste stickers based on famous cave paintings!

A common quip I hear about the difficulty of implementing phages as antibiotic is "the soviets tried that and it didn't work in the long run" (which I myself am guilty of saying too). But I mean, the soviets also failed at communism in the long run too, and that didn't stop anyone
