Just askin'

There is a book I want about germs..... let me see if I can find the name of it. Seeing as I am a cell and molecular biology major I get tired of reading non-fiction books like that but I could expand into some history.

 

When Germs Travel : Six Major Epidemics That Have Invaded America and the Fears They Have Unleashed

 

Your welcome Loopie-I love your Cats!

 

What are the six major epidemics they talk about, just out of curiosity?

 

Bubonic plaque, cholera, tb, some others....

 

Wow, I think you'd pretty much have to be a cell/molecular biologist to have a desire to read up on that.

Hell, more power to you!

What are you going to do with your degree?

 

Actually research, funny thing is today I got offered a job at a semi big-wig place that deals with stem cells, and dendritic research.... I was thinking of med school longer down the road but I kind of want to see where this job might take me.

 

You'll be part of the next big thing, then.

Is the job based in the states or elsewhere? I read something the other day about South Korea and its stem cell interests.

 

In the states, it started at the University of Michigan and then they moved to Domino Farms business buildings. They successfully got some dendritic stem cells to rehabilitated a semi-paraplegic to walk again. Alot of the research is done overseas in other countries.

 

Wow.

You see now that is the real shit.

I tell people I do (did now, I guess, FUCK FUCK SHIT FUCK) philosophy and they automatically associate it with a good brain. But philosophy has nothing on science. I really admire what you're doing hiro. That is, as long as you don't suck at it.

 

Well I haven't started just yet. But I am excited. Thanks Mike. I admire people who can handle the mental capacity to fully deal with philosophy (took a course in it once, needless to say it wasn't that enjoyable because of my teacher). What happened to the whole philosophy thing, or should I not ask?

 

Its all up in the air right now sister.

 

I hear what you are saying.

 

right now i should be getting ready for senior dress up day. i have to start drinking early

 

haha, THANKS!
