It’s been an incredible journey. Very wide-ranging, but also very compressed & intense. Deadlines are the only thing that forces me to overcome eternal procrastination due to excessive perfectionism. I’m still a bit dizzy (and exhausted) from the experience. /2
The product is far from perfect. I consider it like a demo tape. Something you produce before you sign up with a label to record a more professionally produced album. It’s raw in many spots. But I think the story it attempts to tell is shining through clearly enough. /3
A little thread on the causal role of genes in complex regulatory systems, the subject of my recent paper in #BioEssays with philosopher James DiFrisco.
This is part of a collection of papers initiated by @drmichaellevin.

@drmichaellevin Our paper introduces different views on causality to biologists. Physical notions based on law-like regularity of phenomena, or transfer of matter & energy are not really suitable in biology, where general laws are rare & the transfer of information often more important. /1
@drmichaellevin Instead, we use a notion of causality, (introduced by philosopher David Lewis) which is based on counterfactual conditionals, e.g. "if A would not have happened, B would not have happened, therefore A is a cause of B.” /2
