I understand that recombination on its own doesn't change allele frequencies in a population, however I think this is a rather narrow (despite being my favourite) definition of evolution. In my opinion, as a geneticist and plant breeder, recombination (and linkage), affects evolution greatly. It never changes allele frequencies on its own, but it interacts with the classic four (selection, drift, flow, mutation) to cause substantial change. I feel as if I've answered my own question, but does anybody have some further insight into this? Is it a historical reason recombination is excluded?

I assume it has much to do with the Modern Synthesis.

My credit card has been compromised twice within a year. I have heard of others having problems with this bank, so I would like to close my account for security reasons. But this is also my only and thus oldest account (only one year), and I know that won't help my "credit age" score. I have a perfect credit record besides my limited history.

Should I go ahead and close the account?

I have clothing that has been worn a couple of times but needs re-ironing. I don't want to have to wash it every time this happens.

I'm a recent undergraduate, and I knew for a long time grad school was right for me, but I had trouble deciding what exactly to major in. I've figured that out finally, but now it's the problem of picking one of the dozen schools that has my program! What really complicates the problem is I'm Canadian, yet looking to head south (to the US). So while I'm quite familiar with Canadian schools, I can't say the same about US schools.

I don't need to know how *I* should choose a grad school; that's my decision, and I've heard enough competing advice. I'd just like to hear how YOU chose your grad school, and for you to share your experience. Those that went from Canada to the US - I'd particularly like to hear about you!

Thanks!
