... But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
... Then world behind and home ahead,
We'll wander back to home and bed.

Research history:
My publications have touched on topics in neurobiology, histology, fly anatomy, and evolutionary genetics.
Special attention has been given to individually-identifiable nerve cells and to the
hypothesis that sites of tandem-repetitive DNA might function as implicit "evolutionary
tuning knobs" for practically any trait. For additional detail, please see:
