Thank you for coming @Winston_Ewert. I’ve long been asking @pnelson for models just like yours and @Agauger’s, that recognizable to me as a computational biologist. I meant it not as a taunt, but as a genuine invitation. I’m looking forward to the conversation and expect also to learn through it too.
Great. I endorse that fully. Let me lay down some ground rules for everyone.
