Time to get a move on

The New Mexico State Park system allows one to stay a maximum of 21 days at a time. My 21 days are up so today I moved over to Leasburg Dam State Park north of Las Cruces along the Rio Grande River for a while.

Few genes are required

One's brain is powerfully activated by learning that there are only 30,000 genes in the human genome. That is only twice as many as in the fruit fly, not renowned for its calculating ability, and about as many as a garden weed. Geneticists are sorely vexed that so few genes are required to make something as complex and clever as a geneticist.
