Springtime Yammerings from Carl Zimmer | The Loom | Discover Magazine

We are lucky to have one of the most respected science writers working today as a classmate.  If you don’t follow Carl’s work, you should if you have interest in science.  It is informative stuff, and I find it very entertaining.

Carl has a number of upcoming speaking engagements, so you should stop by to listen when he is in your area:

Come to the dive bar extraordinaire, The Anchor, to hear me talk about viruses, and Annie Murphy Paul talk about her book, Origins: How the Nine Months Before Birth Shape the Rest of Our Lives, in which she explores  how life in utero shapes life ex utero.
