I'm starting a blog for this class for all of you to use as well as for me to communicate with you virtually. I'm not sure where this will lead, but I'm excited about the possibilities of this.
I'll be posting on here regularly and I encourage you to ask me questions here if you can't catch me at school.
I'll start off by sharing some pictures from lab this week:
Students all over the world must study evolution threw out their high school career. No choice the government makes us read about monkeys, animals, and how old our world is. How do they know? Were they really there? Evolution is a sketchy topic not everyone believes in it and if they do can they really prove that it is really happening?
Studying evolutionary biology is like studying a giant jigsaw puzzle with only half of the pieces in place so far. 150 years ago, Darwin conceived of the puzzle and since then, scientists have gradually been classifying the species in our world in phylogenetic categories. You know how sometimes when you're working on a puzzle, you find one piece that helps you fit in like 30 others? Well that just happened for Natalia Rybczynski and her colleages from the Canadian Museum of Nature. The species they found was named Puijila darwini, or "Darwin's young marine mammal," an apt name considering it fills in an important evolutionary link between modern day seals and walruses and the ancient land mammals they supposedly evolved from.
This Monday should mark a major step forward for disease-fighting scientific research. President Obama is set to reverse the Bush Administration's ban on embryonic stem cel
From these discussions, I have learned many interesting things. I have learned about the Golden Ratio, how it works and affects the world. I also gained some knowledge about the human brain, and how scientists are still trying to discover some of its mysterys.

The store also contains the latest Macbooks and Macbook Pros. Apple has surley outdone itself since Steve Jobs has really come up with these briliant inventions.
This is an illistration of the Golden Rectangle. It is derived from the mathematical number "Phi", which equals 1.618... This number is found in anything that is on the world. For example, it is used in drawings by artists to create equality, by workers to create buildings and structures, and within humans and organisms.
