Cool T-Shirt

I gotta say, this is the coolest evolution t-shirt. Ever. Courtesy of The American Museum of Natural History: http://www.amnhshop.com/25-028238.html

The classy black shirt was inspired by the museum's recently-unveiled Darwin exhibit, and sports Darwin's famous tree diagram from the Origin of Species (the only illustration in the entire book), and the caption:

Revolutionary

Modest. Understated. Honest. Kinda like the man himself.

Hello

This first post is to introduce me and this blog. I am a graduate student in Molecular Ecology, which is a branch of evolutionary biology concerned with using molecular markers to help answer ecological questions. The question I am primarily interested in is how the landscape interested in how the landscape influences the genetic structure of populations. I'll be posting on interesting papers that catch my attention, as well as textbook recommendations. In addition, I'll be commenting on evolution, the Intelligent Design movement, and various other subjects as the mood suits me.
