I would also like to thank my representatives, Deneen Howell and Robert Barnett, for their wise advice.
Paul Reichs offered valuable suggestions when the manuscript was in its infancy.
Last, but light-years from least, I want to thank my returning readers for their loyalty and patience during my gap year. And a big, warm welcome to any first-timers to Tempe’s lab! I love you all, and hope to see each and every one of you in the very near future.
