		<title>Class by Morning, British Museum by Afternoon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My next installment of photos are up in the gallery, consisting largely of Amy and I&#8217;s short trip to the British museum on July 9th. 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>

		<title>Playing with DNA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had my first really successful day in the molecular lab yesterday. 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, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Homozygotes find Jesus, Heterozygotes Play Hopscotch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve been extremely busy the last few weeks trying to get everything wrapped by the deadlines that always come with the end of the semester. 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>

		<title>Getting Back in the Swing of Things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been too long, hasn&#8217;t it? I&#8217;ve got friends asking me to write again, friends that are hilariously cajoling me into writing again, and absolute nutjobs that leave the craziest comments on old posts. This latter comment is especially hilarious for it&#8217;s illiterate ramblings against evolution, repetition of the belief that no one is required [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m Not Dead Yet</title>
		<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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Genetics of The Bruce</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Saturday (Sunday now that I&#8217;ve published it), but I feel like doing a little Friday Cat Blogging. I didn&#8217;t get to yesterday, though not for a lack of something to say. I&#8217;m taking a graduate level genetics course this semester and low and behold what did we study Thursday night but the genetics of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ignorance as the Greatest Virtue?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s an article up on Fox News by John Gibson that&#8217;s just striking for it&#8217;s tone. 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>

		<title>A Beautiful Controversy on &#8220;Hobbits&#8221; and Science</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Liang Bua 1&#8242;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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Neandertal Genome Project</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those that haven&#8217;t heard yet, a project to sequence the Neadertal genome has been announced. The company doing it has a very nice press release available with a set of resources on the project. They also have a nice brief background (pdf format) on Neandertals. What I found so amazing about this whole project [...]]]></description>

		<title>Song of the Dodo Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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>
