So we had the option to do an extra-credit project this semester. I proposed a couple, but never found enough info to follow through with them. One of my classmates, however, did an oral presentation on hers today, which was forensic entomology, aka "How to do Hodgins' Job ( Read more... )

Nothing like cramming right up until I walk into the lab, then bombing through all the samples to make sure I hit them before the memory goes poof. Now we'll be on plants. Much more fun.

Besides, I've barely done anything to prepare for Friday's lab ( Read more... )

So, we've gotten our lecture and lab exam grades back (go, me, I set the scale in both, whee!), and now we are on to protists. In high school, this pretty much meant Euglena, Paramecium, and Amoeba. Now it means loads of others, eight of which we had live samples to play with today.

I was doing ok until I got to the Paramecium. I've known what ( Read more... )
