Words of Wisdom

"Evolutionary biology is not a story-telling exercise, and the goal of population genetics is not to be inspiring, but to be explanatory."

-Michael Lynch. 2007. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 104:8597-8604.

Interview with Rosie Redfield.

Just wanted to point everyone to an interview with the always enthusiastic Dr. Rosie Redfield, a professor in the Zoology Dept. at UBC in the new issue of Current Biology (you'll probably need academic access to follow the link). Rosie runs the RRResearch blog, which recently generated a lot of buzz over her recent dissection of the arsenic loving bacteria paper/controversy and esuing comments. Rosie also supports an open-access model of research and result-sharing, which is both interesting and a little terrifying for someone in my position! I encourage people to read about it.
