This year's August Krogh Distinguished lecture, the highest award given to an accomplished Comparative Physiologist from the Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology section of the American Physiological Society was awarded to Dr. Jon Harrison, Arizona State University.
Dr. Harrison gave an outstanding seminar in which he reviewed some of his major research discoveries. His work has included examining how insects tolerate various temperatures and how changes in the levels of atmospheric oxygen may relate to variations in insect growth and overall body size. He has also examined the mechanics of respiration in the insect tracheal system. It was a fascinating talk!

Jennifer Ouellette's pop-science book project post and the discussionaround it reminded me that I'm really shockingly ill-read in this area.

Mathematician Cracks Mystery Beatles Chord:
The seminar may have been interesting, but evolution had nothing to do with his findings.
In other words, a *belief in* evolution was completely irrelevant to what he discovered and presented.
More broadly, absolutely no advancements in science or medicine or technology have required a belief in evolution.
Evolutionary spins are just goofy gloss.
You keep repeating that lie - nobody with a knowledge of science believes it.
