"One of the most important experiments in evolution is going on right now in a laboratory in Michigan State University. A dozen flasks full of E. coli are sloshing around on a gently rocking table. The bacteria in those flasks has been evolving since 1988--for over 44,000 generations."

Somewhere back around the time that AIG's Creation Museum opened in Kentucky, SF author and blogger John Scalzi issued a challenge to his blog readers: if they'd contribute $250 or more in a week to a charity fund, then he'd visit the museum and report back on what he found. They did. He did. He put it off for a while, but finally did it a few days ago. Now he's posted the result at his blog.
