I had some problems talking in class last week. I felt like I knew the answers to some of the questions that were asked but I couldn't explain the answers properly. So I just sat there and felt... like a useless sack of slightly old potatoes. It was very uncomfortable. 

On a completely different note, I am a hoarder. I am a pack rat of a ridiculous and potentially disastrous scale, so I think I might as well put my nature to good use and share some things I've collected about on the internet. Some of these are just general bio things, some are evolutionary-specific, but hopefully they'll be informative and maybe even help some people writing their papers (doubtful, but dream big eh?). I collect links for just about everything, so if you want anything from recipes to cute cat pictures to science/music/literature search engines ask me.

www.becominghuman.org/

www.stonepages.com/ <-- Probably more useful as we head into the cultural unit of our discussion

www.proteinatlas.org/

www.biology.arizona.edu/site.html

aether.lbl.gov/Images/resizenowmap.jpg <--- More suited to our previous excursions into space, but I suppose it's better late than never. Again, I have lots of these sorts of things, so if this interests anyone just ask.

www.chromoscope.net/ <--- Also slightly more suited to last unit.

evogeneao.com/images/Evolution_poster_lg.gif

www.eurekalert.org/pubnews.php <--- General good science source collector

www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/jul/02/mutation-gene-tibetans-altitude <--- I believe this was the article we referenced in class

www.darwin.rcuk.ac.uk/581/all/1/Grow_your_own_plant.aspx <-- Educational game! Waste time in the name of science!

humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/human-evolution-timeline-interactive

www.mnh.si.edu/ <--- Yes, it's a museum. But it is an incredible museum with more interesting things than most museum websites.

www.utexas.edu/features/2007/ancestry/graphics/ancestry5_medium.jpg

archive.nlm.nih.gov/proj/ttp/flash/gesner/gesner.html <--- A look on how we used to percieve species.

www.ted.com/ <--- A general site with some things that are very science-y, others that are just interesting.

So those are some of my links. I have a billion and a half more, and if it turns out there is actually any use for me to post more of them I will.
