Editorial
Twinkle, twinkle, little microbe For the last month, I’ve been reading a number of news reports saying that Russia’s Phobos-Grunt spaceflight, scheduled to sail in August 2010 for a three-year round-trip mission to Mars, will be packing some of the “world’s hardiest” organisms found on Earth – extremely diverse and often exploited microbes. Phobos-Grunt will land on Phobos, one of Mars’ two moons, pick up some soil samples,...

Postscripts
Odd fish provides twist to the tale of evolution of eyes When an optical engineer lays out components for a new design, she has more than just a good idea about where the lenses should go and where the mirrors should be. Training and experience have honed her judgment. In nature, the evolutionary processes that have led to the ability to see for many creatures have leaned heavily toward lenses. Human eyes have them, as do birds, reptiles and mammals...
