Essays
-
The Window Stayed Shut
Why people live longer than they stay healthy, and why that question has four true answers at once. My research question.
-
Zero, One or Two

-

What the Jelly Changed
Its food, not its genes, decides whether a honeybee larva becomes a queen. Twenty thousand human genes, a DNA kit that looks for one key, and a yeast factory that stood idle.
T Always Finds A
Mr. DNA, a mosquito in amber, and frog DNA plugging the holes. Part one of two: the three workers that really read your DNA, and a family phone call that can move a colon screening years earlier.
