Many of us know you through your well-known Blog — pharyngula. But I'd like everyone to know that you are a working scientist, an educator, and a terrific science writer as well. So just a bit about you. Let's talk about the article. The title is "Wing of Bat and Mouses Leg" You begin by saying that the mouse and bat have the same bones to build a leg and a wing.
Dr Paul Myers is an Associate Professor of Biology at the University of Minnesota — at the Morris Campus. His research in his lab uses zebrafish to understand embryonic development.
I found out about PZ by reading his column for SEED magazine. The emphasis on Evolutionary developmental biology (Evo Devo) and his sense of the aesthetic caught my attention.
