• Science Explained: Who’s your daddy (genetically speaking?) May 6, 2010
  The Neandertal genome has been sequenced!  It’s in tomorrow’s issue of Science. I don’t know what kind of dork it makes me that I just screamed this to my office so that they know (I was met with blank stares), but I don’t care.  I’m so excited about this.  It isn’t complete, but a method [...]
