Jonathan B. Losos ’84, a professor in the organismic and evolutionary biology department, observed rapid changes in a lizard species within a single generation due to natural selection. The findings, reported in Science this week, illustrate that “processes seen in the short-term can account for evolution over millions of years,” Losos said...

Then one day, poof, he disappears, leaving behind unsettling doubts—how much of our own reality depends on artificial, constructed truths?Our personal identity has been constructed for us.
