Biology (and school in general)

Nov 30, 2007 12:34

I just took my second biology test. I don't think it went as well as the first one, which is funny considering my professor tried to make this one easier. I didn't have quite as much time to study for this one though, which sucks since he gave us a list of essay questions that were likely to be on the test ( Read more... )

Scientific studies must be taken with a grain of salt or more runningfree December 1 2007, 05:04:00 UTC

In reference to your 'random note', does this refer to skin cancer only or did he say? Does this mean albinos should never go on swing shifts? Is this some scam study, sponsored by tanning salons? Are people who work only night shifts at less risk than those who work swing shifts? If not, then perhaps it is simply a lack of sunshine and not so much the irregular sleep patterns that is causing the interruption of melanin production. I wouldn't get too stressed out over this study, considering I'm sure there are far greater contributors to the creation of carcinogens in your body ( ... )

He didn't really tell me any details ... funny though, just yesterday I was watching a show on my TiVo and one of the commercials for the news that night mentioned that very study. I'll have to look into it.

I wasn't all that concerned about it ... and you're right, I'm sure there are plenty of other carcinogenic contributions.

I hope your cold/flu is gone now.

My biology project is going to be on atavism. I think that it's something that not everyone in class will know about.

I should get to bed soon. Take care.

What pray-tell made you choose to do a project on such a topic? Are there extra or extended appenditures on your body you're keeping to yourself? ;-/ No, Leo,that's not a tail between your legs. Boys are supposed to have those things there ( ... )

Haha, I'm not hiding anything ... I just thought it would be a fun topic for which I could show interesting pictures that would keep the class entertained. I will mention in my presentation the fact that syndactyly runs in parts of my family (though no one in my immediate family ... but some cousins and aunts on my mom's side ( ... )
