Does anyone know if the alphafold cat has a name. Its that red animal that is looking up while thinking about protein structures. I see it so much that I feel like it must have a name, and if it does I feel like I should know it.

I think it's called Marv.
As Mensur Dlakic said, it's not a character of AlphaFold2 but of Martin Steinegger's group.Our Marv stickers arrived just in time for #ISMBECCB2023. Stickers are available at our posters. I am looking forward to reconnect with old friends, make new connections, and learn about the latest in bioinformatics. See you in Lyon. pic.twitter.com/hNP0dY4w6C

Are you talking about this cat?
If so, it has nothing to do with AlphaFold. Those are designs by Martin Steinegger's group for various programs and services they provide. Doubt that it has a name, but you can always ask Martin directly.

Why is this tagged
Joke?Idk its not serious so I figured I would just put a random tag on it since I was in a rush.
The post may not be "serious" (I don't know what you mean by that BTW), but are you serious about asking the question? If yes, add a proper tag.
