Interesting link about a selective breeding project
The Quagga project aims to bring back an extinct subspecies of zebra. The 4th generation was born in 2010, and contains individuals that are fairly similar to the target. Neat!
Teaching an integrated review of a subject.
When teaching review courses, sometimes you realize that a subject wasn't covered previously. In this case, diabetes, starvation and the production of ketone bodies. Very important for practice as an MD, taught but glossed over in some biochemistry courses.

My delusions of grandeur
Are pretty large this morning, and especially last night. I was reading this blog about spaced repetition systems and how useful they are for learning and memorizing. I was imagining using them for all that organic chemistry that I used to know, all that biology that I know but need to memorize better, and my previously learned foreign languages as well as the language that I am attempting to learn now (Spanish).
So I am going to go hunting on the Web for a system that is iPhone-compatible, uses the sync feature of the iPhone to transfer information, and *doesn't* use text-messages to transfer information.
It is possible that Anki does all this, but not in the default settings.
