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

Two years ago, there was quite a brouhaha in the media when Serbian minister for education decided to kick Darwin out of schools. The whole affair lasted only a few days - the public outrage was swift and loud and the minister was forced to resign immediately. I blogged about it profusely back…

Mahablog has two excellent posts analyzing (and linking to other good analyses) of the changes the Left and Right blogosphere experienced over the last several years and explains why the Right blogs were more powerful in the beginning and why the Left is much more effective today: Under the Radar…

This is a Pinto that has evolved by natural (and a little bit of artificial) selection: This is a Pinto that was intelligently designed: Casey Luskin does not understand the difference. Although, apparently, even the designed Pinto is always evolving:

Often a press release inflates the meaning of a research paper. Here is one example of it (from May 23, 2006): -------------------------------------- From Afarensis, I got a new paper about circadian rhythms in primates: Twenty-four hour rhythmic gene expression in the rhesus macaque adrenal…

As John said right after the last election: Besides picking our candidates and races, I think the most valuable thing most of could do is to help shape the conventional wisdom. We blog, we write letters to the editor, we talk up our relatives, neighbors, and co-workers. We should try to take down…

Imagine an ecosystem in which all the players are groups defined by their religion: fundies, liberal believers, apathetics, atheists, etc. Then, use the ecological and evolutionary priniciples, e.g., competitive exclusion, niche-construction, arms-races, parasitism, camouflage, symbiosis, etc. to…

Of all the coverage of the Murtha-Hoyer duel and what it means for Pelosi, the only one that put into words the way I felt about the episode is Mary Beth. Of course the Kewl Kidz of the media got it upside down (but they have their own sinister motivations for it). I am not worried for her at all.
