Op-Ed Contributor - The Origin of Darwin - NYTimes.com
Scientist, writer, public intellectual... Nope, not talking about Darwin. He was great, but the beard just doesn't do it for me. Olivia Judson, on the other hand, should be the new face of evolution: author of Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice To All Creation, an evolutionary biologist with degrees from Stanford and Oxford, and generally drop-dead gorgeous.
Oh, and it's a great article. Read it.
"[Darwin] practiced a kind of ideal, dream-like science. He examined the minutiae of nature — shells of barnacles, pistils of flowers — but worked on grand themes. He corresponded with lofty men of learning, but also with farmers and pigeon breeders. He observed, questioned, experimented, constantly testing his ideas."
Her blog is also fantastic and well worth a read. Anyway, who would you select to share your genetic material with? Judson, naturally.
