Lets face it -- π sucks. Not pie, pie is genuinely awesome and so is the fact that "pie" sounds like "π", so we can have fun with things like this. But seriously... π? It's totally off by a factor of 2!
For more on τ day, check out the Tau Manifest at http://tauday.com/ and of course http://halftauday.com/ if you're still a fan of π.

Evolution is a pain in the ass, especially for herpetologists and ornithologists
The reason? Imagine you have a kid, and your neighbor has 2 kids, then you both find out that really, one of their kids is sort of... yours. (-- awkward pause --) That's basically the problem here:
Herpetology is the study of reptiles and amphibians, however unraveling the evolutionary history of these two groups (along with birds) has shown us that birds are actually nested in among reptiles.
Now, to be fair, I think the comic has it wrong: I mean, shouldn't this justify lumping ornithology in a sub-discipline of herpetology?

Thesis writing...
... has pulled me away from blogging the past couple of months. BUT, I'll hopefully be done and back to a regular posting schedule later this spring!
