Turing after the instability
Most of my site is about Turing's approach to the specific morphogenetic problem of Fibonacci phyllotaxis, so it's good to see a paper (Allaerts W: Fifty years after Alan M. Turing. An extraordinary theory of morphogenesis. Belgian Journal of Zoology 133(1): 3-14 2003) on Turing's more general reaction-diffusion theory based not on the well known 1952 paper but on his later works finally published in 1992.
On the other hand, the Belgian Journal of Zoology don't seem to have mastered online publishing ("free full text of special issues"). Personally I have pretty much stopped reading any new academic papers that I can't get online, so I hope Dr Allaerts' paper doesn't have the same fate as a chemistry paper published in German about the time all the chemists started publishing in English instead (1914?) or a Domesday book published for a special edition of the BBC Micro.
