First, apologies. The last couple weeks have been very tough. Laura had (and still does) important assignments and we didn’t have the time to complete any comics (both Being Bears and Bears of Lore).

But we have some time now and managed to get this one completed. Its a sort of continuation of the previous comic and based on a real, hilarious discussion.

—- update —
Big Bear’s comment about Biologists and maths is a comment I actually made, and it is somewhat influenced by the Physicist Lawrence Krauss. In 2012/2013 Prof. Krauss gave a lecture at Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia. At the time I was pursuing a PhD in Radio Astronomy. In his lecture, he put up an equation (I can’t recall the equation) and he said, in jest (and I am paraphrasing): “To the Biologists in the room, this is an equation. The term on the left equates the expression on the right!” So when Laura was trying to figure out the maths in her Advanced Systems Biology class, I made that comment (after I asked about conditions and she got exasperated).
