Spent part of the journey home from Cthulhu last night shouting at a recent TWiP podcast.

"But why would
be selected for in mice but not in people?" Vincent was wondering. "Since Toxo is such a gentle parasite and doesn't hurt either, there should be no selection pressure in the humans or the mice

My work here is done :o)

Although I have yet to listen to TWiP or TWiM.

You definitely should. I really love TWiP; Dick Despommier is a great teacher, even when he isn't officially teaching :)

I especially recommend TWiP #11: One Times Three Million, which covers malaria and tries to get across the scale of the human cost of those numbers.

I may have mostly chosen the path of the geosciences, but you will take my infectious diseases out of my cold, dead hands.

I've got 'The Physical World'. It's very exciting :)
