I like to document uses of the name “Volvox” that don’t refer to the green algal genus, for example Volvox the ship, Volvox the paint, DJ Volvox, another DJ Volvox, Volvox the art gallery, Volvox the Turkish metal band, and another Volvox band (“one of the most extraordinary bands ever to emerge from Melbourne, or in fact anywhere else”).

Postdoc Katrin Schmidt recently brought a few more to my attention; I’m really not sure if they have anything at all to do with proper Volvox:

Volvox the book.

Volvox eyeglass case. Having just started wearing glasses, I might need one of these.

They still make EPs?

In your face, Saccharomyces!
