I've been trying to catch up with all of y'all but I'm not doing too well because some of you write so freaking much. So many things have happened since I've last been on livejournal ( Read more... )

"But sometime around the 31,500th generation, something dramatic happened in just one of the populations - the bacteria suddenly acquired the ability to metabolise citrate, a second nutrient in their culture medium that E. coli normally cannot use ( Read more... )

Hello!

I'm loving it here at Davis. I'm learning so many great and wonderful things. I'm currently studying a group of captive rhesus macaques. I love it but it's a lot of work. I've met lots of new people and had some very exciting adventures. Here are photos from one of the places I've gone: South Yuba River. Photos from one of the Nerf wars ( Read more... )

Check out my brother Luke on Beauty and the Geek!!!

Davis is awesome.  I've been seeing a cute British boy.  School starts soon and I am very excited.  Life has been busy but very good.

.Unfortunately, my phone is not getting much reception at all out here in the middle of nowhere.  I've gotten some voice mail messages but I haven't been able to return any calls so far.  It is better for you to email me, since most of the places we are staying from now on have free email, but I will only be checking it for a few minutes every ( Read more... )

I GOT INTO COLUMBIA!!

I'M WORTHY OF IVY LEAGUE!!!

I know some of you said "forget Columbia" but I want to know exactly why you said that.  If any of you have experience with Columbia University or UC Davis please let me know, I'm trying to decide between them.

I am finished with finals.  I'm starting to meet all sorts of people and have a ton of fun here so now I am getting sad to leave Irvine.  I spend most of my years here totally involved with work and school.  I've spent the last few months making new friends, relaxing and having fun.  It's set me back a few K but I think it has been worth it.  I've ( Read more... )

Now I just need to hear back from the 3rd school I applied to, Columbia.  Right now, I am leading towards Davis.  The only problem with Davis, is that it doesn't have any close zoos/wild animal parks that are good for studying behavior.  I really have to think about it.
