Shoutout to William Playfair, the Scottish engineer who: - Invented the line chart. - Invented the bar chart. - Was the first to color-code a chart. - Invented the pie chart (but let's just ignore that; pie charts are an abomination.) When he wasn't busy inventing charts,

Solid copy on that
a student ends up in the taxonomy department. everyone’s shouting obscene species names in latin, building phylogenetic trees, blasting 16S rRNA, and twerking to grimes. suddenly, the student goes: “wait, what’s the point of taxonomy? isn’t it, like, the most useless science

Does anyone else feel a strange sense of calm when contemplating our absolute insignificance in this magnificent, incomprehensibly vast universe?

Things get a little weird around Sable Systems during Halloween. It's perfectly normal to bump into an oryx & a giraffe paying tribute to our spirit animal, the Sable antelope 😎

A student in our advanced metabolic phenotyping course gets instruction from Dr. Thomas Förster on using the incredibly powerful, custom interactive macro generation mode of our data analysis system. Promethion files are a goldmine of data!
