98% of the human genome is noncoding DNA. Termed junk DNA, this vast majority of all human DNA has no known biological function. Why would we have so much nonfunctional genetic material? Are these the instructions for superpowers that are waiting to be tapped or are they really just junk left over from millions of years of modification? I don't know about you, but I'm hoping for superpowers.

Miscelaineous Music - April Edition
I know it's been a long time since the last installment of Miscelaineous Music, but tonight I was reminded of one of my all time favorite pieces of music - the Elgar cello concerto. This piece helped me fall in love with my husband. I know most of you don't regularly listen to classical music, but take the time to listen to this one. It's really that good and Yo Yo Ma isn't half bad either. I was actually only going to post a video of the 1st movement but, this piece is written so that one movement seamlessly transitions into the next one. So, basically if I were you, I would just take about 45 mins and listen to all 4 movements back to back. At least (as a personal favor to me) listen to the 1st and 3rd movements. Ok, guilt trip over. Happy Listening and Happy Easter.
