Happy 4th and Light Blogging Ahead

I am on the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus this week, learning about sociogenomics.  If you don't know what that is, neither did I until I was invited to participate in this National Science Foundation funded Summer Institute.  Now I know something about it, having spent the day reading the preliminary material.  Wow is this interesting stuff.  I might do some daily blogging if I have the time. 

Meanwhile, happy Fourth of July.  This evening, as I walked around the campus, I noticed a building with a lot of Lincoln's words etched into the side.  "A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand," and "Let Us Have Faith that Right Makes Might."  The campus was founded right after the Civil War, if I got the drift.  Happy Birthday United States of America!

I notice a lot of comments on my Honduras post.  I will try to get around to responding.  If I am slow, it isn't because I don't appreciate the traffic.
