{Reminder}I really need to reorganize my entries so the account is more usable in the future.
Is there such a thing as an opposite to writer's block? Has anyone else ever had too much to say at once? Writer's flood? I've had that recently, where I keep thinking of things I want to write about... but then I end up with too much and either forget some of it, or decide to leave it alone since finding a place to start is frustrating.
Today(ish):
Congratulations to Rutgers Anthropologist, Robert Trivers,
for receiving the Crafoord Prize (biological equivalent of the Nobel Prize). According to the Rutgers announcement, Trivers will receive his $500k grant, one of the largest awards in the scientific community, from the Queen of Sweden later this month in a ceremony that will also commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Crafoord Prize itself. Read more here. Trivers specializes in social evolution, specifically the genetic aspect of social evolution {selfish genes}, symmetry-cues, deception and self deception. He teaches social evolution and natural selection. His work has been the foundation for subsequent work, not only by anthropologists but by biologists and ecologists, and his new book, GENES IN CONFLICT: the Biology of Selfish Genetic Elements, with great reviews, is already a staple in the personal libraries of many aspiring scientists.Named one of the 100 most influencial thinkers of our time, Trivers has been called an "under-appreciated genius" and it is this sentiment among scientists that brings me to one of my personal memories of Trivers; That of another prestigious Rutgers anthropologist, Robert (they're all named Robert) Blumenschine when he said, jokingly, that Trivers was a living example of how big brains cost energy, since he always complains that thinking big thoughts all the time makes him tired. XD
Lastly: All massive department-wide gossip aside, I'm glad to hear of Triver's award not because of his influential research, nor due to some deluded sense of reflected glory, but because of his self-appointed duty to attend a yearly farse of an event, which shall remain unnamed, patiently wading through the boo-hiss of the ignoramus in the hopes that his instructing will reach even one student - and bring that one student a greater understanding of the science and realtiy of evolution.
Congratulations to Rutgers Women's Basketball for reaching the NCAA Final Four, and for a great season. Proving for once that not only the big, hulking mens can have glory.
