The species is named for Dr David Agassiz.[1]

gollark: Of course, they should just unhook themselves from the blood draining machine.
gollark: Well, in this model, it is already too late, as they cannot make blood not go below 40% regardless of thing done.
gollark: This is not a great analogy. It's not like one person/group could just trivially fix climate change if they weren't terrible people, or something; it's a coordination problem.
gollark: They became sentient in late 2019. Most people haven't noticed.
gollark: Crimes are widely considered bad because they have bad effects on people/cause suffering. I don't agree with causing *more* of that.
