POSTSCRIPT: This line is an idea from my favorite book about becoming a biologist, “On Becoming a Biologist,” by John Janovy Jr. He describes how he has his students find biological content in artwork or magazines as a class exercise. The answer to the riddle in this case is “the biological content is in my brain as I take the picture.”

One of the central hypotheses about how the diversity of life is generated is known as "adaptive radiation". This term, popularized by G.G. Simpson in the mid 20th century, encapsulates an idea that is relatively easy to grasp: that the spectacular arrays of morphological and species diversity that we observe in the world are often the result of great bursts of speciation and morphological change.
I like to eat parfaits by the “cat garden,” where CSUF’s feral cats hang out.
