Blog birth

I write about science, and in a recent overhaul of my web site, I decided it was a good time to add a blog. I’ll be posting thoughts about new research in the fields that I can’t get enough of–the brain and the body, how they evolved, and where they’re going. I’m still getting the hang of iblog, and so the first few posts will probably be pretty clunky. And until I can figure out how to post comments, please feel free to email me. I will try to post some messages from time to time in my own posts.
