Re: Will Provine at Cornell
Are you sure that Dr. Provine is familiar with Gladyshev's work? If not, you need to spell out what "Gladyshev's extension of Gibbs' thought" means.
I wouldn't mind if you did that RIGHT here. Remember, since questions have to be succinct, try to do it in 2 or 3 sentences... but if you can't, then write a lot and we'll try to help make a question out of it.

Re: Will Provine at Cornell
Brad,
What I could understand:
  • Kervran's concepts of biological transmutations
    (Cool. The article makes it seem that the claim of biological transmutation is controversial. Why would people be reluctant to accept that an organism can transmutate one element to another?)
  • propinquity
  • verisimilitude
  • Help me with:
  • "vicarying reproductive communities" (Google search returned 2 results; both simple term listing from a Hennig book from Amazon.com)
  • "first natural affinity graph by Agassiz"

  • if you can spare the time. Even if you can provide a link, that would help.
    Thanks as always Brad.
    Ben

    Hi Brad,
    I see you attended the lecture last night... sorry, I was hoping to get back to you before the lecture on this stuff, but things got busy again...
    So how did it go? Any interesting points you want to bring up here? And did you get to ask any questions? I'm curious to know how things went...
    Ben
