> Huh. As one of the science panelists, I think I’m probably better off not knowing what all is going on behind the scenes. I’m happy to work with Josh and I’m happy to work with BioLogos, and since I don’t represent anyone other than myself, no one is going to worry about how my participation reflects on my organization.

Absolutely correct. You do not represent them. This is not about any of the behind the scenes machinations by BioLogos. We are focused on other things here.

Well here is something to prepare for @glipsnort. Turns out that @Agauger took your basic AFS simulation and used it to argue that a “bottleneck” at 200,000 years ago is possible ([Ann Gauger's Recent Talk at Biola](https://discourse.peacefulscience.org/t/ann-gaugers-recent-talk-at-biola/694)). I’d encourage you to get up to speed on that argument. The video is linked in the is in the linked thread. It is certainly going to come up in your panel.
