I can recommend the research papers on animal 
navigation, especially those dealing with birds'
fascinating capabilities.
 These are not only more accessible than most,
but provide a healthy insight into experimental 
statistics 'at the sharp end'.

 Long ago, I was well pleased to follow my interest
 into the Clarendon, the Faraday Lab., to a don's room
 in Cambridge, to Cornell in search of Keaton and to
 their bio research station in Florida which afforded
 oranges direct from the trees for morning juice and a photo-opportunity 
with Eisner,  along Broadway to
 the Sesame St. conference room for a very kind moment
 from Walcott's busy schedule, out to Stony Brook
 and Wood's Hole, into MassGeneral and a Medical
 research group  at Stanford, and to the offices of that
 most rarified of periodicals; 
a pigeon-fanciers and racers magazine.

I could wish that the same flame would touch a
 few new students.
