		<description><![CDATA[In preparing to take an online ethics training course to do experiments with human subjects, I was asked the following: Do you conduct or supervise studies that use vertebrate animals? True Answer: Yes. Pragmatically Correct Answer: No. Somehow, in a question that clearly targets people working in the biological sciences, we&#8217;re supposed to interpret &#8220;vertebrate <a href='http://christopher-davis.net/blog/?p=81'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Kai is an excellent photographer, who has been photographing the local area for some 40 years or more.
