Science Corner: Better with Friends?

June 30, 2021 by Andy Walsh No Comments

Last week, we talked about gene duplication and looked at some simulation results for random walks. Now, let’s take a look at what happens when we add players to our Quandary Den game via gene duplication. Is the game really better with friends?

Science Corner: Better with Friends

Over the weekend, our household reached the point where all of us are fully vaccinated for COVID-19. We celebrated this milestone with an escape room outing. That got me thinking about my little escape room model, the Quandary Den.

Previously in the Quandary Den, I gave you a chance to do some evolutionary artificial life experiments for yourself. I hope you got an opportunity to at least run a couple of different rounds with the simulation.

Science Corner: Learning by Simulating

February 10, 2021 by Andy Walsh No Comments

Last week I introduced you to my escape room/dungeon crawling/superhero training simulation and a few basic results. I don’t want to keep all the fun for myself, so now it’s your turn.

What do you with a biologist who isn’t great with living things?
