an excerpt...

"Cotton-top tamarin monkeys may look like little fluff balls, but these primates are not lightweights when it comes to learning at least one basic component of language. A new study found that these monkeys can tell the difference between prefixes and suffixes.

The discovery, reported in the latest Royal Society Biology Letters, suggests non-human primates, and possibly many other animals, share some skills associated with human language."

based on things i like reading, and what im doing in this internship, and how much i like reading Scientific American and Discovery News, im thinking maybe of going into science writing. not science journalism (although thats a part of it), but writing about public health, nature, and culture. that could be cool. MIT has a really good one year program.
