Busy Weeks

Zoo trip over now and well through the Biotic responses material. Seems like we are taking big jumps from the molecular view of genes in cells to the behaviours exhibited by complex mammals in a captive setting. Still, just getting to see the exotic strangeness of our world's wild animals and especially our nearest relatives never ceases to impress me. I suspect a large number of Biologists choose their path because of the wonderous incredibility of the world we live in.

Topic test coming up very soon.
