Anybody here studying or working as a biologist?

If so, I could really use your help with a short a survey for my research. If you want to participate send me a PM with your email and I'll send it to you.

 

not me..

 

I was a biology major before I became a sociology major. I couldn't pass Trig and it was required for the degree. So, I had to switch to something with less math.

 

Highlarious.

 

:not cool:

 

I'm a biologist.

 

i'm a biochemist

you can pm me the question or just post it in here.

 

PMs sent, please get back to me asap as I leave for class in about 30 minutes.

 

i'm in AP bio right now, why not just post the questions in this forum?

 

The survey is in a word document and it would be much easier to keep it that way.

 

copy paste?
