John Wilkins just published a paper (..."a review of the centenary festschrift for Mayr...") and got a book accepted for publication (the book grew out of series of excellent blog posts about species definitions - who says that blogging is bad for your health?)

Congratulations!

Not me. At last count there are some ten living (and one dead) John Wilkinses on the web, including a mathematician, a physicist, a blues player, a religious journalist, and sundry others. None of them are film producers as far as I can tell.
