I'd like to share this quote. You may all have seen it, but I like to reread it anyway.

There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most

I just went to a talk about evolution this evening, during which the lecturer flashed a Darwin quotation on screen (about group competition being a form of natural selection).

I wanted to go to AAS so badly this month, but sadly I teach on MW nights. Did Julianna record it?
