Everybody Sleeps!Complete preview at my YouTube page: www.youtube.com/channel/UCdgVVDIeLO2UaD3q8RQCKqgThis is a kid's book, more or less - it contains some long words - that illustrates a couple of big ideas: that there are a lot of animals out there, and they're all related; what "sleep" means, and how we can look at what makes it up; and, more generally, the whole notion of exploring a biological problem.The book was inspired by and was written to celebrate the work of the author's former colleagues in the Sternberg lab at Caltech, in particular Cheryl Van Buskirk and Ravi Nath. Every idea in the book is true, so far as we know, except for the cartoonish means used to portray those ideas.You can contact me with any questions via: wormbase.org/resources/person/WBPerson566
