James and the Giant Corn Genetics: Studying the Source Code of Nature

I’m still at my parents, and my dad just got home from back to back conferences in San Diego and New Orleans. He brought back a number of free give aways although my favorite for creativity is a shot-glass attached to a lanyard. I guess if you wore it at parties you wouldn’t have to worry about losing it when you’re falling down drunk?Anyway, tomorrow I’ll be making sure all the electronics my parents have added are in good shape (hopefully the last network adaptor will arrive tomorrow), and taking care of my car, then on Thursday it’s off to St. Paul for the weekend before heading back to class.
