593<p style="text-align: center; max-width: 760px; margin: 0 auto 1.6em;">I taught undergraduate and graduate biology at San Diego State for four years, and have spent the years since explaining population genetics to audie
593nces who did not come to it through a biology degree. Both are the same problem: finding the version of an idea that fits in someone’s head.</p>
