More shamelessness on behalf of others.

Apparently it's quick update/shout out week(s?) here at Nathan Explains Science. I wanted to draw your attention to biologist Jon Wilkins's blog, Lost in Transcription, where it is Egypt week. Jon is a poet in addition to being a biologist — he's far more interesting than me — and has spent some time on the evolutionary biology of cooperation (I believe...) as well as the poetry of Langston Hughes, one of my favorites from high school. Please take a minute to check him out.
