Who am I?

John M. Lynch is an Honors Faculty Fellow at Barrett the Honors College at Arizona State University. He's also affiliated with ASU's Center for Biology & Society. When he's not an historian of anti-evolutionism, he's an evolutionary morphologist. Much to his surprise, in 2007 he was named the Arizona Professor of the Year. No doubt his students were surprised as well.

Cool! I looked for it when I first published the post but it wasn't available yet.

I had the good fortune of seeing some of these while diving the Great Barrier Reef the other week. Had one a couple of meters from me for perhaps 5 minutes while it was getting cleaned. Beutiful creatures.
