Week 11 - Spike's Gallery

These images are beautiful although I am not entirely clear on what they all are. The geometric shapes in the fossil from Oamaru are spectacular!

Week 11 - links

I love this site. It has been really informative and easy to navigate.

Week 11- Diversity of species

I am surrounded by

2 Homo sapiens

1 Hydrangea macrophylla
1 meyer lemon tree
deciduous trees
evergreens
succulent ground cover
Corvus brachyrhynchos
Musca domestica
Malus domestica
Allium sepa

Week 10 - Animations

These didn't work for me. i just got the Q for the player application but no animations.

Week 10 - Definitions of Chemistry of Life

Very comprehensive but not that fun to navigate. I have trouble reading purely informative text online, I would rather have a book.

Week 10 - Gene therapy

I think that gene therapy, in the right hands can do great things and save many lives. I would not be the person to deny a child, parent or person the right to alter their genetic make-up in order to survive a disease, inherited disfunction or cancer. I hope, but am skeptical, that we exercise caution when introducing this into the world of medicine. I can see it becoming the way to secure a "blue -eyed baby boy, tall, with athletic build and above average intelligence". This kind of gene "therapy" is not far from the aforementioned. This kind of abuse of privilege frightens me for the future.
