Diffusion Models of Population Genetics in the Age of Molecular Biology

When I was a small boy, I was fascinated by the flowers my father loved and raised, and imitating him I grew various plants in the garden at home. The main reason why I was attracted by the flowers was their beauty. In addition, I was fascinated by the mystery of development; I wondered how a beautiful tulip, for instance, could emerge from a mere bulb. My interest in plants continued through elementary school. Then, in the second year of middle school, I met an interesting teacher who was a devoted naturalist. He encouraged my interest in plants, and gradually I became absorbed in botany; as a result, I made up my mind to become a botanist.
