If so, this raises the question of what selection acts on: the number of germline mutations at reproduction, with somatic rates as a byproduct? The burden of somatic mutations over the lifespan, with germline mutations as a byproduct? Or maybe some combination of the two?

Watch these students in @jaimejcoon's biology class create a beautiful pollinator garden using milk jugs. The jugs will be stored at @MillerFarm and serve as a greenhouse to germinate the seedlings. The future garden will be planted at Runyan Center. 🌱
