Oct 19, 5:00AM
Humans? Usually unappreciative and typically awful. But it wasn't always like this!

Why Genetically Engineered Grapes Would Make Great Wine
Oct 18, 9:00PM
I am 99.9% sure that there will never be commercial production of genetically engineered wine grapes ("GMO" to use the common misnomer). Even so, I'd like to indulge in imagining what could be if we lived in some parallel universe where rational scientific thinking prevailed.

Oct 18, 6:53PM
I used to love Facebook. When I first signed up back in 2004, I was all about it.
