I’m going to be travelling for a few weeks so I won’t really be responding to comments very much, but the blog should still have plenty to occupy you. I’ve got the last of my old articles from WordPress lined up to repost, including some really cool stuff about eye evolution, parasites, dinosaur growth and more. There’ll also be a few fresh pieces that I prepared ahead of time. And hopefully in mid-October, I’ll have a small but very cool bit of news to share.
