17 Jan 2014: "I think he was afterwards well satisfied that my nose had spoken falsely" Darwin autobiography
Once Darwin's father finally conceded to the Voyage of the Beagle, Darwin was rushed off to London to meet Captain Fitzroy for a short interview. They got along fabulously but Fitzroy adhered to phrenology principles, which indicated Darwin's laziness.
Submitted a NSF pre-proposal today, lectured on the effect of temperature on organisms, coordinating a submission to the Kaufman foundation. Quite a day.
