Profile
My scientific specialty is chronobiology (circadian rhythms and photoperiodism), with additional interests in comparative physiology, animal behavior and evolution. I am not an MD so I cannot diagnose and treat your sleep problems. As well as writing this blog, I am also the Online Discussion Expert for PLoS. This is a personal blog and opinions within it in no way reflect the policies of PLoS. You can contact me at: Coturnix@gmail.com

A kangaroo that's shrunk in the wash.

Except that the coat is not as smooth, looks like the little "kangaroo rat" that stole my food in Joshua Tree desert. Not particularly shy about it either.
