Here's some interesting news: the Idaho Museum of Natural History asked permission to use some of my images from Darwin's Garden and Greenhouse photoessays for their Darwin Day celebration! (Do you remember my wonderful trip to London that you paid for?) The museum is presenting a special exhibit, Darwin's Green Side: Discoveries in Evolutionary Botany [free PDF], that focuses on Darwin's work with plants. If you live in Southern Idaho, Western Wyoming or Northern Utah, be sure to pop in to the museum for this exhibit and say hello!

Cool! Congratulations!
Slight correction:
"If you live in north/central Idaho or eastern Washington state[...]"
As they say, "you can't get there from here". The "Natural History Museum" in question is, I'm pretty sure, on the campus where I got my Microbiology degree in Pocatello, ID (down in Southeast Idaho - I'm pretty sure I centered that link right on the Museum building). It's actually kind of a pain to find a way from Northern Idaho to Southeast Idaho, so this is more of a "Southern Idaho/Western Wyoming/Northern Utah" sort of thing.
ah, okay! thanks for the correction, Epicanis.
