We've Moved

Thank you for following the change to this new domain.  At this time, any new articles will be published here.  The Lyric of the Day and Ted Talk Tuesdays will continue at this new location.  Ideally, only the URL will change.

In the 1940's and 1950's, several scientists brought together the separate subfields of biology by identifying evolution as the single, unifying theory of all biology.  While Julian Huxley coined the term "The Modern Synthesis" in his 1942 book, he, Ernst Mayer, and Theodosius Dobzhansky recognized evolution's explanatory power for genetics, taxonomy, paleontology, cell biology, ecology, and other specific subdivisions.  Today, their work continues as Evo-Devo investigates evolution's actions through the developmental process.

Called The Post-Modern Synthesis, I hope to bridge the gap between science and religion that has widened in recent years.  To dethrone fundamentalism (religious and irreligious), perhaps we should acknowledge the Einsteinian view of religion captured in his famous quote:

Science without religion is lame.  Religion without science is blind.

As a science teacher, I also focus on education as the best hope for our society.  Through proper education, we can fight poverty and defeat bigotry.  I hope to provide a space for debate on several topics within the comments section of the website.  When you feel moved by a topic, please feel free to respond with a comment.  Should you enjoy the site, you can subscribe and receive email updates.  Otherwise, new articles will usually be linked through Twitter and Facebook.

Please enjoy the same site with a new name.
