After all, I have no credentials, no expertise, not even a lab coat to my name. (Which is a damn shame. I love lab coats.) I'm a first-year college student taking the most basic, remedial biology class I could find. I didn't do all that well in high school, and my academic and professional focus to date has been purely on the arts.
So, what do I have?
Passion. I think biology is one of the most incredible disciplines out there. It is the cornerstone of our existence. It is what helps us understand not only the world at large but also the invisible, everyday processes that determine each millisecond whether we live or die. It takes us from the ocean floor to the highest mountain peaks and beyond. It is, in a word, fascinating.
Through this blog, I hope to document my experiences as I learn absolutely everything I can about the living world. Stay awhile and learn with me. If I've got something wrong and you really feel the need to correct me, please feel free to do so in a kind and respectful manner--after all, I'm only a first-year! No matter your level of experience, knowledge or interest, keep just one thing in mind: in the immortal words of Bill Nye, "Science rules!"
