in reply to TPRC/Science Track Submission Dates and Deadlines Coming Fast!

I just took a look at https://science.perlcommunity.org/spj/index, as linked above. The DNA spiral in it is the wrong way round. That's going to confuse and/or put off any scientists.

Can we get that fixed?

    Thanks for the giggle. In return I can play devil's advocate and point out that you are only supposing it to be DNA. It could quite easily be some other chirally opposite double helix. And even if it were DNA perhaps the geneticists would be equally aghast at the suggestion it can be modified by a pair of tweezers.

    In reality we all know it's been done by "marketing" and therefore pesky things like logic, scale and scientific fact don't stand a chance.

      If the target market is scientists, then it being done by "marketing" is hardly an excuse. It is distractingly wrong.

      On a side-note:

      Anyone having contacts to academics in London/UK using Perl?

      Plz /msg me in case you do...

      I noticed that for instance that the UCL lists BioPerl in its software database for students and staff.°

      Nice. Now we just need that put up. As of this writing, it's still wrong.
