Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

One of my labs just hangs them from a thin horizontal pole. Right now, another lab has a wire drawer which is a terrible plan long-term lol, so I've been looking for cheap hanger systems.

Iโm an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars donโt get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.๐
