    The Garvan Institute is a couple of blocks away from where I live.

    The structures they are are talking about aren't any kind of knot, but a four-strand stretch of DNA held together by cytosine-to-cytosine bonds - there's no interesting topology involved.

    Medical education isn't big on pure math skills. I'll talk to my
    oncologist friend about it - he and I were undergraduates in the same residential college, and our wives shared a bathroom in their
    residential college, so we go back a long way.
