Happy Birthday Chuck!
NHGRI asks if Darwin is relevant today….and guess what the answer is?

My favorite part of the video is when Leslie Biesecker takes us from Darwin–>software, of course. Later on he also talks about how important evolutionary concepts are to our interpretation of health and disease. I mean, I know you guys get this–but I think it is the piece that makes me craziest about the people who want to deny evolution and its relevance today.
Couldn’t they have found at least 1 woman to interview, though? I saw them in the background….I know they were there…
