Someone left a pile of recent 'Amercian Scientist' magazines in the break room at work (yes, I work with dorks) and the cover of March/April 2006 issue caught my attention (cute picture of a gecko, from the underside, sticking to glass).
Anywho, it's their cover story for the issue; serious, intense science but very interesting, so I thought I'd pass along the link to the article.
