The Nature study depended upon large-scale sequence analysis of DNA sequences, not only of humans, but also of chimpanzees and other primates. And to do so we have to look at not just the sequence difference between human and chimpanzee, we have to look at the difference between different humans. Summer, for me, is the time you decline to go to any meetings. You think about how to put all your research and information together. And the fun part is actually rehearsal.
Summer is a time to think, to synthesize, and project.
