That we do. Speaking of which, though, I have a book that you might be interested in once uni has given your brain back - Death's Acre, about the man who sorta started this whole foresnic thing. It goes through cases and some of the studies that he and his students did on bodies and bones - one the students buried bones in a house that the fire brigade were going to burn down, just to see how it'd affect them. I found it utterly fascinating. Sound interesting at all?
gee, that looks vaguely familiar, just replace bones with metabolic pathways. i'm going to be hassling you for help with my anatomy class, btw... whenever the hell i'm supposed to take that.
Oh god. I hate metabolic pathways. HATE. I have tried to do as little biochem as possible, though I expect I'll have to relearn it all at some stage or other.
My major is officially "forensic molecular biology," which sounds awesome. What they actually mean is this: molecular biology + a couple of classes about the interaction between science and the law.
Which is why I have now taken (amongst other things) cell and molecular biology, biological chemistry, biochemistry, advanced biochemistry, and next semester: molecular biology! they seriously need to come up with some more defining course names. although that may trick one into they actually aren't all about the same thing, the sad truth is IT IS ALL THE SAME.
My majors are psych and 'cellular & molecular biology'. Luckily I managed to dodge the one course called 'biochemistry', but I still had a fair bit of metabolism in my molecular courses.
Redundancy is an inescapable part of undergrad bio, I think. All of my genetics courses overlapped.
