Some of you may know that I post many links of interest that don't make it into a full blog post via Twitter. Since I know there are a number of blog readers who haven't yet made the move to Twitter, I'm going to follow in Dan Vorhaus' footsteps by posting a weekly roundup of useful links here on Genetic Future.
Here's episode 1, encompassing the first week of 2010:
