Mark Wheelis

Mark L. Wheelis is an American microbiologist. Wheelis is currently a professor in the College of Biological Sciences, University of California, Davis.[1] Carl Woese and Otto Kandler with Wheelis wrote the important paper Towards a natural system of organisms: proposal for the domains Archaea, Bacteria, and Eucarya that proposed a change from the Two-empire system of Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes to the Three-domain system of the domains Eukaryota, Bacteria and Archaea.[2]

Wheelis's research interests include the history of biological warfare.[1] He co-authored (with Larry Gonick) The Cartoon Guide to Genetics (1983). Wheelis provided the scientific knowledge and text, while Gonick contributed the illustrations and humor.[3]

gollark: I've seen someone with non-swarm smart mining, so presumably that would just need to be combined with the shared-map features in my swarm controller stuff, and delegation of roles, dropoff etc somehow.
gollark: Probably.
gollark: I really need to work on swarm mining.
gollark: How do you know?
gollark: I could buy all diamonds, if someone lowered the price to about .001KST.
