My human genome posters arrived today! I ordered them about four months ago and had totally forgotten about them. They were free, from the Department of Energy, Office of Science, Genome Program. I'm not sure why the DOE is doing stuff with the human genome, but I'm all for it. And free posters.

I wish I remembered where I ordered them from in case anyone else wants to be as awesomely nerdy as I am, but I can't find the web page anymore and a quick look at DOEgenomes.org didn't help. Sorry.

I also got a catalog from the AARP pharmacy for some reason. Dear AARP: I appreciate the opportunity, but I'm not in the Depends and nosehair trimmer stage of life yet. Nothing against those who are, but let's not rush it, okay?
Ta,
Miriam

I like their disclaimer: "The Human Genome Landmarks poster is for educational purposes only, and is not intended to provide medical advice." For some reason, I'm picturing people engaging in DIY gene therapy with a bench full of equipment and consulting their handy poster as they go along...

I bet Clonaid is already on it...
