Using Genetics to Make a More Perfect Christmas Tree
This year, for the first time in my life, I\u2019ll be hosting my family for the holidays. And to their deep disgruntlement, we\u2019ll be celebrating it without a Christmas tree. No, this isn\u2019t some principled stance against the yuletide-industrial complex or a personal front in the war on Christmas. I\u2019m just much more interested in an indoor evergreen interloper when its needles fall in someone else\u2019s home.
