Release the kraken

What happens when you collaborate with non-ecology scientists?

- You create a Transposable Element (TE) simulation model called TEWorld, with this logo:

- One of your collaborators initials in this project are TE (and you only realize this after collaborating for 4 years)

- You need to run said simulations on sharcnet, and one of the clusters is you will use is called kraken (or orca, or requin, or saw; obviously computer scientists are not biologists, or they are and the inclusion of orca is reverse reverse psychology).

- You receive links to these types of youtube videos:


- You descend into philosophical rabbit holes, and come out transformed.
