Hmm, and I'm just in the middle of catching up on Nova's documentary. I guess I'll watch this next, as I'm heading to KU for a recruitment meeting on Monday. You might have been wayyyy super busy, but I sent you an email about me going there and interested in what the most current biology education affairs are like in Lawrence? And also what life is like there in general.
