Just restart the Cold War. It was the best thing to happen to space exploration. Scientists riding on waves of misguided nationalism and fear.

Quantum Mechanics

Now, peturbation theory, why the fuck do I have to learn this? These days you can solve shit numerically with a computer. Why do we bother with these analytical approximation methods?

>the main trait being selected for is intelligence
But we can only measure a small spectrum of intelligece, and very poorly at that. An IQ test only tests for logical intelligence, and the puzzle nature of the test means it's possible to get a better score with practice. Also, regardless of your genes, if you have an understimulating environment during your formative years, you will most likely not become intelligent. Until we know exactly what we should be selecting for, the only thing that makes sense is to select against genetic disease, since that's less ambiguous.

SCIENCE ROBOT ADVICE!

I'm conducting experiments where I need to pull a crayfish's leg slightly upward (think millimeter scale) and release. I need the process to be consistent - the distance moved and speed of movement should be the same. Something where I can adjust these variables as needed would be awesome.

So - I need advice on what device I should use. Perhaps a small hobby motor or solenoid? Anything that I can easily control, maybe rig to a computer?

Sure you could. Take the DNA out of a dog egg (for example), put it in a human egg with DNA removed, and somehow adjust the human sperm's chromosome count. You could probably just add extra chromosomes filled with random junk DNA, and of course you wouldn't want to do this to the organism itself, just the germ cells/spermatozoa. Then you transplant the egg into a human surrogate mother and voila, you've got a horrible abomination of a cross-species pregnancy.
