How much is one willing to concede? How much can one insist on maintaining?...</div><div><br></div><div>This perspective on intimacy didnβt feel right at the time but stuck with me. As the years pass, I grow more convinced in her assessment. <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In todayβs genomic and big data world the importance of control issues within i</span>ntimacy, intra and inter species, are no longer ignorable.</div><div><br></div><div>Reading this thread made me connect the control conversation from years ago to my recently completed collaboration.
