On the side of written scientific communication, I just read Lewontin's book The Triple Helix, which just beautifully describes how the environment is inevitably constructed by organisms and how genes and environment interact. I highly recommend it.<BR/><BR/>Yes, the folks who excel both in cutting-edge research and the popularization of science are few indeed.Vaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10736476566904100458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10781944.post-55790005084935837172009-03-24T18:08:00.000-07:002009-03-24T18:08:00.000-07:00Sean was, believe it or not, my undergraduate bioc...Sean was, believe it or not, my undergraduate biochemistry professor (in 1991, I believe).
