Nope, no gaffes. Very informative and a welcome bit of intelligent discussion on a Saturday afternoon. I sent an appreciation to NPR as well. Your conversation with Ms. Seabrook complimented a very interesting article that I'm reading in the current New Yorker. It's title is, "Darwin's Surprise", by Michael Specter. It talks about retroviruses and the role that they've played in evolution. Very interesting stuff. I've tabbed your website. Lot's of good stuff here. Worth stopping by just to read about the Zombie Cockroach. I can appreciate that cockroaches have their place in the scheme of things but I wasn't sad to see the cockroach get hollowed out. Almost beyond comprehension how perfectly directed the wasps neurotoxin is in the cockroaches brain. Leading him around by the antennae is just amazing. Thanks. Santa Rosa, CA Hi Carl.
