There’s a useful summary essay on the recent work on cognitive accounts of religion in Science by Elizabeth Culotta:
Culotta, Elizabeth. 2009. On the Origin of Religion. Science 326 (5954):784-787. [Needs subscription]
Leiter links to a set of useful philosophy referee hand signals. I didn’t know I was supposed to wear the baseball gear when I referee articles.
Josh Rosenau, my host at NCSE, has blogged about his experience debating creationism recently. Worth a read.
Razib Khan has a very good introduction to the Price equation. This is the core of much modern evolutionary genetics.
I have a new job. Details will follow when it becomes public.

Congrats … I hope … on the new job.

I have four books on modern evolutionary genetics that I consult frequently: Nei and Kumar (2000), Grauer and Li (2000), Freeman and Herron (1998), and Hartl and Clark (2007).
None of them even mention the Price equation.
Isn’t that strange?

The Price equation isn’t about genetics. But poor John isn’t a biologist, so we can forgive him.
Congrats (I hope!) on the job. have you finally become a truck driver?
