desperanceThe ESRC Genomics Network is holding a short story competition. Stories about genetic influence, policy, issues. My baby-SF-writer soul wants to play, and thinks you should too. If that's the bag you're into.
Also, the subject line above is the first time I have ever typed "dishevelled" (yes, I am sure of this; I always know. The fingers recognise a strange pattern even as they shape it), and it occurred to me as I did, it's one of those words; it should be twinned, and isn't. Only the negative form exists. People - and genes, apparently - are frequently dishevelled (I myself am dishevelled as I type this; it's my natural state), but no one is ever hevelled.
