Corante has added Carl Zimmer's The Loom to its growing list of science blogs. From the blog's self-description: "The Loom weaves together deep time and modern life. It surveys new research on evolution, paleontology, and comparitive biology and links them to biotechnology, medicine, neuroscience, computer science, environmental issues, politics, and ethics. Plus the occasional mind-controlling parasite." Zimmer's forthcoming book, Soul Made Flesh: The Discovery of the Brain--and How It Changed the World, looks like a must-read.
