Now on ScienceBlogs: HeartlandGate: Anti-Science Institute's Insider Reveals Secrets
My scientific specialty is chronobiology (circadian rhythms and photoperiodism), with additional interests in comparative physiology, animal behavior and evolution.

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
