A zebra finch is seen in this undated handout. Scientists have cracked the genetic code of a songbird for the first time, identifying more than 800 genes linked to song learning in a finding that may shed light on human speech disorders. Baby zebra finches learn to sing in virtually the same way as human babies learn to speak - by copying their elders - which means the tiny bird should serve as a valuable model for understanding human learning and memory.
I had plans for yesterday but after I went grocery shopping I pooped out. I should have mowed the hill behind the house but it is raining this morning so I won’t be able to do that. Darn.
I continue to work on organizing our photographs. Another project I have let go for too many years. So far I have managed to work on them a little every day or so —— I just don’t want the “or so” get too far apart though.
