Here's my conversation with Manolis Kellis (@manoliskellis), head of the MIT Computational Biology Group, about the beauty of the human genome, evolutionary dynamics, mutation, inheritance, viruses, language, free will, and life. https://t.co/WioTCPGMuL
Some useful (and hilarious) perspective from John Insprucker:
"It's better to be on the ground and wishing you were flying, than flying and wishing you were on the ground."
Pres. Trump on his coronavirus test today: "I tested very positively, in another sense, this morning. I tested positively toward negative, right? No, I tested perfectly this morning -- meaning I tested negative. But that's a way of saying it: positively toward the negative."

This is called "nerd immunity"
