It breeds well in, you know, it's easy to raise in the laboratory.
And it's very prolific.
And all the tools, basically for decades, people have been developing tools.
There's other pieces.
Some people use other frogs.
But I have to say, this is important.
Xenobots...
are fundamentally not anything about frogs.
So I can't say too much about this because it's not published and peer-reviewed yet, but we've made xenobots out of other things that have nothing to do with frogs.
This is not a frog phenomenon.
We started with frog because it's so convenient, but this plasticity is not related to the fact that they're frogs.
It should be a prince.
Yeah, that's an experiment I don't believe we've done.
And if we have, I don't want to know about it.
So this is the basic science of developmental biology.
There's a lot known about all of that.
But I'll tell you what I think is kind of the most important part, which is, yes, it's very important who does what.
However, because going back to this issue of why I made this claim that biology doesn't take the past too seriously.
And what I mean by that is it doesn't assume that everything is the way it's expected to be.
Right.
