The evils of PoMo

Okay, 5 points if anyone can tell me what this research statement has to do with biology. Or even what it means. Or if it's english. And why, why, why did they give him tenure? Anyone?

Sadly, I too quasi-failed to comprehend the statement-summary. Guess I didn't teach-learn much in meta-college. Need another glass of ice cold creativity.

Cheers!

You have a funny and insightful blog. I'm a grad student too (in evo-devo) and I write a science blog called Fresh Brainz mainly about evolutionary biology and some neuroscience.

Would you like to exchange blog links?

Best regards!
