About Michael White

Welcome to Adaptive Complexity, where I write about genomics, systems biology, evolution, and the connection between science and literature, government, and society.

I'm a biochemist


... Full Bio

The Oyster's Garter ("Science served wet and salty" - and I'm sure you can take that to mean whatever you want) is hosting the latest, greatest edition of Carnival of Evolution.

Read about genetic changes involved in the evolution of pregnancy, about female birds who have some say in the matter of the sex of their offspring, a study suggesting that "that moral disgust “hitched a ride” on the more primitive reaction to poisonous or spoiled food," how ice fish manage to not freeze to death by ditching red blood cells, the true story behind evolution's greatest hoaxes, and much more. Go check it out.

I saw that yesterday too.  I really liked that "Dear Diary" stuff.    That was nicely written.  I didn't go to each article (I know what I am getting by their URL already, in most cases) but I got a kick out of that format.

Michael: thanks for the (broken) link.

I enjoyed the take on a lot of evidence against ID and creationismicegotistical1 nonsense.
carnival of evolution #10 is well worth a visit!

1 - creationismicegoistical - a symbiosis of creationismic + egotistical.
egotistical since creationists adopt an extreme anthropocentric view of the entire cosmos.
Also - creationismicegotistical - please note a mechanism of parallel coding, which may or may not lead to the new term's evolution into alternate forms such as creationisratgotistical and creationismonkeygotistical.

Oops! I was working at a coffee shop, and waiting for the spotty wireless connection to come in. I wrote in a placeholder link and forgot to fix it.
