      Yup, I hope to use that actually in the next couple of years. You might as well be able to eat experiments, right?

      I think bio is up for a split. It IS fun but it's one field in which knowledge is really growing rapidly. Micro & genetics really need their own course imo, even at the hs level.

      Just saying...some of us think that the cell, molecular bio, and genetics parts of biology ARE the fun parts and that the organismic stuff is what's unbearably tedious. :)

    Today 13yo DS actually enjoyed writing poetry for English. I guess miracles really do happen.
