Hey,

I have two great articles to tell you about. In this week's "The Economist" there is a great story on the commensal microbes that live on/in our bodies (10 trillion human cells in your body but 100 trillion bacterial cells!). In this week's "The New England Journal of Medicine" there is a really interesting piece on canine genetics and how purebred dogs have been used to shed light on some human genetic disorders (did you know that achondroplasia, also known as dwarfism in humans, has been intentionally bred into many lines of dogs to give them short legs?). Anyway, thought I'd share!
