This is full of Science and possibly hedgehogs
Welp. I'm pretty sure you guys might have heard me say this before because I am a hopeless Sonic nerd and well.
Several years later (Because I recall trying to read an article like this before) I finally have enough understanding of biology to actually read and comprehend what that article is saying! Yaaaay!
And a few other articles related to Sonic Hedgehog. Just... Just...
It's awesome, hilarious and somewhat disturbing. All articles that bring up this gene do actually mention that the gene is named for the Video Game character. You can almost hear the exasperation in the writing. All "Like, seriously guys, why?" Hey, I don't see them complaining when they're teaching kids about the two glands in the brain some genius decided to name a structure in the brain after mammary glands because as my Bio Psych teacher put it "Hurr hurr, they look like boobies. C;" Love that prof, best lecture but the course could have benefited from tutorials. Damn the budget cuts!!
Of course, when you're a patient in the hospital due to some sort of cancer or witnessing some strange mutation involving eyes, the least reassuring thing to hear is that the protein at the source of the problem is Sonic Hedgehog.
I mean really.
And this is why Kuu can't have nice things. 8(
