Sorry guys, no show today. In replacement though, I have assigned a reading for all those who need science in every aspect of their lives.

I suggest reading the full story that this article summarizes, which is noted at the end. If you are unable to track down the original "The G. Palmer Story (or, What It's Like, Sometimes, to Be a Scientist)," just shoot me an email and I can send it to you. It is classic, and if there weren't so many copyright issues, I'd just read it on the air (or should I anyways?)...
