So Drs. Rosemary and Peter Grant are coming to speak at my university tonight.
They are the people who did the Galapagos finch work on the adaptation of finch beak sizes to specific climate changes causing changes in the local seed populations, which is simultaneously REALLY REALLY INTERESTING and also some of the most influential work demonstrating natural selection in action. Which is VERY VERY COOL.
Going to engage in all the evolutionary biology hero worship tonight~
Also, in about an hour I should be finishing up my experiment almost completely and finishing collection of the main data on it. Which is amazing and wonderful and also slightly scary--what on earth will I be doing without actual crosses to make?
...oh, right, writing my thesis up. THESIS DEATHMARCH 2011 IS GO!
