* http://www.sheldrake.org/ - Rupert Sheldrake, a biologist and  
author, is best known for his hypothesis of morphic fields and morphic  
resonance, which leads to a vision of a living, developing universe  
with its own inherent memory. He worked in developmental biology at  
Cambridge University, where he was a Fellow of Clare College. He was  
then Principal Plant Physiologist at the International Crops Research  
Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), in Hyderabad, India.  
 From 2005 to 2010 he was Director of the Perrott-Warrick project,  
funded from Trinity College, Cambridge.

"[The] two fundamental steps of scientific thought - the conjecture  
and refutation of Popper - have little place in the usual conception  
of intelligence. If something is to be dismissed as inadequate, it is  
surely not Darwin [, whose] works manifest the activity of a mind  
seeking for wisdom, a value which conventional philosophy has largely  
abandoned." Ghiselen, 1969. Triumph of the Darwinian Method, p 237.
