AT THE CONVERGENCE OF EVOLUTION AND GENETICS
About evolgen
We talk about molecular population and evolutionary GENETICS and GENOMICS. You know, the caliper measurement of a gene's evolvability in moles.
Eschewing obfuscation ever since Morgan.

My House Band Will Get Its Ass Kicked By Your House Band (unless your house band is Phish or They Might Be Giants or another lame band that can't hold their own in a fight between house bands, like Dave Matthews or Metallica)
Ben wants a house band, but he doesn't think it should be Phish. I agree. Phish sucks. A good house band should accompany a night of drinking. Let's just say Phish is the appropriate accompaniment for a mind altering substance...Posted on October 17, 2006 11:00 AM • 2 Comments
An Informal Poll: Coffee Drinkers
If it weren't for coffee, much of the research that gets done today wouldn't get done. Or so I am led to believe based on the reverence people seem to have for the sacred bean. Frankly, I'd trade a cup...Posted on September 26, 2006 10:00 AM • 23 Comments
Salty Beer
The Disgruntled Chemist was in Minnesota last week. He went out to a few local bars, and wrote about his encounters. Check out this one where met a girl who had martini olives in her beer. She claimed the olives...Posted on September 17, 2006 10:00 AM • 11 Comments
No More Napa Valley Wines?
I am not a climate scientist, and I don't know enough about viticulture to offer an informed response regarding the effects of temperature changes on grape production. I do know, however, that Napa Valley wines tend to be very generic stereotypes of the European varieties they're imitating.Posted on July 31, 2006 1:00 PM • 5 Comments
Better Wine Through Science
Humans have been genetically engineering agricultural crops ever since plants were domesticated. Notice the difference between maize and teosinte. Or how about what we have done to create modern wheat. By either imposing an artificial selection pressure on a few...Posted on June 19, 2006 12:00 PM • 5 Comments
Drink Up and Pee Freely
This one goes out to all the kids who don't drink. By kids, of course, I mean our wonderful readers -- spoken to in a condescending manner -- not minors. I would never encourage minors to drink. That's illegal, and...Posted on June 13, 2006 12:00 PM • 3 Comments
iPods are (insignificantly) more Popular than Beer
A poll of 1,200 undergrads at 100 colleges in the United States found that 73% of the students think iPods are "in". One tenth of all old people know that "in" means "hip". Half of all old people think...Posted on June 9, 2006 9:00 AM • 1 Comments
Another Post for the Boozehounds
I've learned that writing about alcohol is great for the ol' site meter. Even the teetotalers got active in the comments. Despite the rampant sobriety that seems to be spreading amongst sciency types, I still believe that alcohol is the...Posted on June 6, 2006 1:00 PM • 2 Comments

Addendum: Older women who drink are smarter. Question is, are they MILFs or Cougars? Scanning a few blogs that I rarely ever read, I came across a link to this post from this blog. The post is on Crooked Timber,...Posted on June 1, 2006 10:45 PM • 20 Comments

Double Entendre Friday - 17 March 2006
Today marks the anniversary of the death of St. Patrick -- the dude who ridded Ireland of its non-existent snakes (some folks claim it was a metaphor for pagans). In honor of this great feat, people around the world drink...Posted on March 17, 2006 9:45 AM • 3 Comments
