The story of Nobel Prize-winning discoveries regarding the molecular mechanisms controlling the body's circadian rhythm.

How much of our fate is decided before we are born? Which of our characteristics is inscribed in our DNA? Weiner brings us into Benzer's Fly Rooms at the California Institute of Technology, where Benzer, and his asssociates are in the process of finding answers, often astonishing ones, to these questions. Part biography, part thrilling scientific detective story, Time, Love, Memory forcefully demonstrates how Benzer's studies are changing our world view--and even our lives.

Jonathan Weiner, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for The Beak of the Finch, brings his brilliant reporting skills to the story of Seymour Benzer, the Brooklyn-born maverick scientist whose study of genetics and experiments with fruit fly genes has helped revolutionize or knowledge of the connections between DNA and behavior both animal and human.

Comfortable and Lightweight Running Shoes
Size: 11 X-Wide, Color: White/Bright Crimson/Pure Platinum/Black
The Nike Men’s Revolution 8 Road Running shoes are very comfortable and lightweight, making them great for walking, running, or everyday use. The cushioning provides good support during long periods of wear, and the breathable material helps keep feet cool. I also like the modern design and how versatile they are with casual or athletic outfits. The fit feels secure without being too tight, and the sole has good traction on different surfaces. Overall, these shoes offer excellent comfort, style, and value for the prIce.

Reliable Performance and Unmatched Comfort
Size: 9, Color: Black/Anthracite
​After putting these Nikes through their paces for both walking and running, they have proven to be a standout investment for anyone prioritizing functionality and value. ​Key Highlights: ​Fit & Stability: The toe box width is excellent. They don't cramp the sides of the foot, allowing for a natural toe splay during impact while maintaining a secure "lockdown" feel that provides confidence in every stride. ​Heel Ergonomics: A common fail point in running shoes is irritation at the Achilles or heel. These, however, are impeccably designed; I've experienced zero discomfort, pressure points, or blisters, even during longer sessions. ​Versatility: They transition seamlessly from urban walking to mid-intensity runs. The gait cycle feels fluid, and the outsole provides the necessary grip to feel connected to the ground.

Incredibly comfortable and priced right
Size: 8.5 X-Wide, Color: White/Bright Crimson/Pure Platinum/Black
I'm new to running and was eager to get a shoe that would handle sustained distance running while being thoroughly comfortable on my feed. I have wide feet as well, and the wide version of this shoe is a perfect fit. After running with these for a few weeks, I tried on a lesser pair of run shoes for comparison and the support of the Revolution 8 became every more apparent. For the price, this is a great entry running shoe and one I'll use all year.

Good sneakers
Size: 8, Color: Lt Smoke Grey/Black/Smoke Grey/White
Bought size 8 for my son. He likes them and finds it more comfy than his Nike air max sneakers. Only issues are that the laces are a bit too short, so tying them can be annoying, and that the grey color gets dirty easily.

Worth it, gents
Size: 10, Color: Black/Anthracite
These are very comfortable and lightweight. They’ve held up admirably through day-in, day-out wear and tear for about three months. The size is precise, the price is reasonable, and the style is on point. I’d buy them again in a heartbeat.
