And thanks for relieving us in advance about your dad! The poem did it, too, with the flooding color.<br /><br />Lynn Margulis is one of my favorite biologists!! (So is E. O. Wilson--is he one of the species extinction biologists you were researching?!) I am impressed with Margulis for many reasons, including her view of cell behavior as altruistic and collaborative, not just competitive and selfish. I love the book she wrote with her son, Dorion Sagan, called Mystery Dance: On the Evolution of Human Sexuality. I have also read some of her short fiction! AND I checked out her big book on one-celled organisms from the library. Mostly, I looked at the pictures.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559881249054540947noreply@blogger.com
