Yeah - I can’t seem to find the internet lately. I just managed to snatch this little glimpse of it in the pale moonlight in between wake/work cycles, so here I am. I won’t bother giving you more excuses. Besides, Miriam has already used up all the best ones.
However, I need to take this time [...]

Blog Update & Carnival of Evolution #11 - Oh, For the Love of Science!
Well, as some of you have no doubt noticed, I have been rather absent from the internets as of late. On top of a heavy load of scientific experiments on my plate, I’m also spending almost every waking minute trying to get my house ready to sell for my impending move to Pittsburgh (which includes [...]

Carnivalia! Evolution, Blue, Spineless, and Pro Publica
As some of you have no doubt noticed, I’ve been a bit absent from this digital home of mine for the past couple of weeks. What can I say? I’ve been incredibly busy with actually doing science.

Carnival of Evolution #10 - The Oyster’s Garter
I couldn’t imagine how Miriam Goldstein of The Oyster’s Garter could top her previous hosting of the Carnival of the Blue #21 in which she waxed lyrical and poetic.
However, as I have come to expect from Miriam, she completely knocked the socks off of my expectations with her shiny new edition of the Carnival of [...]

Carnival of Evolution #8 (Part Two)
Welcome back to the Carnival of Evolution - the place where the sideshow freaks of nature, the genetic mutants of the Tree of Life, run the show.

Carnival of Evolution #8 - Update
One thing natural selection is powerless against is selecting for or against anything in an organism post-reproduction. Hence, our bodies are fairly impotent when it comes to fighting cancer (with many exceptions, of course). The mechanisms of evolution are simply blind to most cancers.
It is for this reason that I must delay today’s edition of [...]

Carnival of Evolution #6 and #7
As some of you might have noticed, this site has been pretty inactive as of late. Blame that on the combination of a full-time research post-doc and a college teaching gig on top of it.
Well, now the stack of final exams are graded and it’s time once again for you to indulge your selective pressure [...]

The intro is one of the more entertaining carnival intros I’ve read as of late.
