The height of non-productivity

The last two weeks have not been fruitful. Am still recovering from the ghastly Science & Technology expo from last weekend. (mainly hypoxia and claustrophobia from being squished into a booth measuring about 3 m2) Most of my time has been spent in the library digging up journal articles and reading books that have absolutely nothing to do with molecular biology. Well, nothing that's related to my area of research anyway. However, have been enlightened by Richard Dawkins and 'The Selfish Gene', so I can't say that the last week has been totally wasted.

Hi farlander!
found my way here from a couple of yr entries in PR! doing good!
Have also read the selfish gene! Brilliant and too technical! Have u read any of Lovelocks Gaia theory books? They look at the world as a single cell, self regulating organism! think u might like it!
Anyway! You seem to have settled into h2g2 remarkably quickly and are being very prolific!
keep up the good work!
Z.

have not gotten my hands on lovelock yet, but have read lynn margulis's 'microcosmos' - another gaia theory follower. the microbes bit of the book was pretty good.
might i recommend dawkins's 'the blind watchmaker'?
