i've seen that sm2099 letter to the editor by that then-molecular genetics graduate student circulate lately (since it gives a pretty good explanation as to how the changes miguel underwent should effect him, and how, as a chimera of sorts, he no longer meets the scientific defintion of human) and i realize no one reacted like i did which was simply nod along to and go, "yep," before immediately finding the guy on linkedin to see that he's still a cancer researcher who enjoys comics, almost three decades later. and that rocks

#he is JUST like me forreal #anyway . if i had the headspace i'd try to figure out a more techinical explanation on what happened to miguel founded existing methods #of altering the genome #and the epigenome. and the transcriptome. and the translatome. etc #as our sm2099 fan martin said it's a question that has only become more complex since he was a phd student #marvel comic blogging
