> which you could order for free by physical mail

This one can be ordered as well.

and here [0] is where you can order it. you can ask for paper copies of the poster to be mailed to you (free) from the roche philanthropy department! it took about a month for mine to arrive, i think, but they're really awesome looking and i now have the 'cellular and molecular processes' one hanging behind me in my front room, so that i look impressively clever on zoom calls ;)

I ordered one about 1 year ago, but never received it. Possibly because I didn't have a 'proper' organisation (e.g. a university dept) that I could list in the form.

i simply listed my perfectly ordinary residential flat's address in the uk. and, as far as i can tell from the text in the link i gave above, they are giving these away to anyone who wants one as an educational public service, hence the fact that it's the philanthropy department that runs the scheme.

> We believe all people should have access to important scientific information to help their research and education. [...] Roche provides copies as a free service to the public.

they are pretty cool to have, with very high quality two colour printing, and you also get a wee booklet with an index to the two posters to help you find things. there's also a book [0] by the same author with much more detail, and obviously much more portable, but sadly much more expensive ;(

so, i'd try asking for them again, if i was you.

Thanks, I will.

the difference is, at this point in my career, I no longer need this poster in physical form. When I return to the office, there will be a copy on every fridge. Also I transitioned from biology to cloud biology, this whole chart is just a JSON file.
