- 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 [...]

  Thanks to Bora Zivkovic for the shout out! I’ve been using this blog space (and hopping back on Talking Science)primarily to showcase my events-partly because I was finishing my Ph.D. and had just about no free time-but am excited to use this platform for other nefarious purposes, but I’m looking forward to learning from you!
