I will discuss a mixture of results and conjectures related to the Khovanov homology and Knot Floer homology for ribbon knots. We will explore relationships with fusion numbers (a measure of complexity on ribbon disks) and particular families of symmetric unions (ribbon knots given by particular diagrams). This is joint work with Nathan Dunfield, Sherry Gong, Tom Hockenhull, and Marco Marengon.
