I am living the dream: I’ve been invited to give a talk of extreme geekiness this Monday:
Pokébiology 101
There may not be a Pikachu Genome Project, but the unusual biology of the Pokémon Universe can teach us about biology in the real world. How do Pokémon species differ from species here on Earth? What does genomic imprinting have to do with breeding? Can an organism like Eevee actually exist? You won’t need to be a Pokémon Master or geneticist to catch the concepts, so come, have fun, and grab a beer – it’s super effective.

Cool! Will you post your notes here? I’d love to be there, but I live on the wrong side of the Atlantic.

Alas and alack, I shall be nowhere near the US West Coast. I hope it gets posted to Youtube, for it sounds like a delightful lark.
