@bioinformagic.bsky.social I saw this and thought of you....
“Fair dice” might make you think of perfect cubes with equal frequencies (say, 1/6 on all sides) 🎲

But “fair” really just means you get the frequencies you expect (say, 1/4, 1/4 & 1/2)

We can now design fair dice with any frequencies—and any shape! 🐉

I'm a bit late to the party over here. I'll be advertising a BBSRC-funded postdoc position soon. So if anyone wants to solve some outstanding questions in limb development - please get in touch. We have a variety of models and approaches (everything from stem cells to sharks). towerslab.weebly.com

I recently made a comic complaining that NASA refuses to listen to my good ideas for improving the Solar System (xkcd.com/2750).

To my delight, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate has sent me an actual expert panel evaluation of my “flatten the planets” proposal! Sadly, they decided not to fund it.
