As I got off the bus on the way into work earlier this week, Rundle Mall (the main shopping street in Adelaide) was bedecked with plastic snowmen, Christmas bulbs and chubby Santas – in the first week of November.

Z, at just shy of a year old, got in his first fight at day care yesterday. Unfortunately, it wasn’t because he was espousing his Dad’s (and Bob Dylan’s) socialist notions. Nor was it because he’s [...]
Gregor Mendel, the father of modern genetics, started to study the mechanisms of heredity after observing variations in flower color in his garden pea plants. He began to notice patterns from season to season and ultimately was able to predict the frequency of one flower color occuring in subsequent generations versus another. What started with attention to [...]
