Hey, hey, check this out. Brand spankin' new Hall of Human Origins just opened at the Smithsonian. We've been talking about getting up to DC sometime this spring or summer and that definitely goes onto the shortlist of things to do. I'm not sure how much federal support the Smithsonian gets but I'd like to imagine that all of my tax dollars went to support a bright, shiny new exhibit on EVOLUTION. And hope that somewhere a wingnut is having a brain aneurysm as a result. science!
