In addition, I wanted to share a writeup about what the day was like. One of the requirements of the course is that we keep a journal each day. While [...]]]></description>

This is a gel from a PCR reaction of beta fibrinogen intron 7 for eight cockatoo species.

While I promise not to show many more of these (it gets boring pretty quick), it&#8217;s exciting because everything worked. Lanes 1-8 have a single band, which shows [...]]]></description>

I just completed working on a paper for Molecular Biology about cystic fibrosis. Before I go any further, let me define just a few genetic concepts using the analogy [...]]]></description>

This latter comment is especially hilarious for it&#8217;s illiterate ramblings against evolution, repetition of the belief that no one is required to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; as the famous line from Monty Python goes.
I&#8217;ve put up some pictures of an outing a couple of weeks ago to a local ranch, where my university&#8217;s biology department hosts an annual Bioblitz, identifying every species regardless of taxa they possibly can.
I managed to get one picture in particular that I just really like.

It&#8217;s not the kind of ignorance that one just stumbles across in life. No, it&#8217;s the kind of ignorance that one must work really hard to cultivate, waking up each morning to seek out opportunities to display this level [...]]]></description>

Liang Bua 1&#8217;s asymmetrical skull
In 2004, scientists announced the discovery of a new species of small hominid which lived on the island of Flores (Indonesia), which they dubbed Homo floresiensis. The media, ever the bastions of scientific truth and accuracy, immediately popularized the discovery by calling H. floresiensis hobbits.
Recently however, a debate has flared up [...]]]></description>

It’s not my voice, it’s probably not yours, but it makes itself heard in the arenas of public opinion, querulous and smug and fortified by just a little knowledge, which is always a dangerous thing. So what if a bunch of species go extinct? it says. Extinction is a natural process. Darwin himself said so, [...]]]></description>
