Today we discussed two articles that at first made us think...how is this of any importance to humanity? And we did discuss that although, this quite specific rewearch may not seem to have a big picture idea driving it, it is a stepping stone for greater ideas of research. Which then drived our discussion towards a group project in...

Good evening! Being a busy bee today, class started off quickly as we discussed some articles, lead by the students. They were well thought out, and they brought to light some good points. fter a few notes, we went to dissections. We dissected starfish and squid. Surprisingly, the starfish has quite a tough, exoskeleton, or skin, which in restrospect...

Once again, I'm the late blogger, but alas, I hear slow and steady wins the race! On to the meat of this post, today we learned about the zonation of the ocean, (yes I realize this is the thrid time you will be thinking to yourself, why on earth, is this in a marine biology course). Well other than...

Oh my is it late, but thanks for the read anyway. Unfortunately as the class has gotten more intense...so has my schedule. But alas, I shall begin. Today we learned about, waves, tides and currents, and (suprise! Once again) I was given the task of connecting them to marine biology. Well because I'm exhausted I'll make it short and...

For those who intently follow me, sorry for the late post, work held me up and well unfortunately kept me from being able to spout my knowledge into the interwebs. As you have probably figured out from the other fine 19 gentlemen joining me in this course, today we talked about tectonics. And as was the case with me,...

Welcome back for day two of my Jesuit Marine Biology experience. Again I have lots of things that I'm interested it, and even more that I want to talk about (although it doesn't really make sense, it's true). We spent a lot of time today discussing the two articles assigned last night, and personally reading them I felt that...

Hi, for those who are reading along, welcome to my section of the Jesuit Marine Biology blog. Hope you enjoy. Personally I'm looking to get quite a lot from this course (but alas, this assignment only allows me to post two). First I must say I am thouroughly looking forward to learning the hands on skills such as dissecting, research...
