So, I should be sleeping right now, seeing as I have my last final for this semester in, oh, 6 and a half hours (translation...8AM final), but I just finished studying, and I decided to surf the web for a bit before sleeping as to ward off nightmares created from hours upon hours of studying Virology (can ya tell from that run-on sentance that I have had massive amounts of caffein this week). Anyway...humor is always good, so in honor of finals week, I bring you College Finals from Hell....you should read them all, but if you just browse, do check out Medicine, Public Speaking, Biology (of course), and Engineering....some of my personal faves. Political Science is pretty damn funny too. College finals from Hell |

Viruses like HIV and Ebola are enabling researchers at the University of Pennsylvania to construct effective tools for gene therapy. Carefully combined and modified, these dangerous viruses could one day become an integral part of live-saving treatments for serious genetic disorders. See Tom....this is what I was discussing with you over Thanksgiving break....this is extremely cutting edge, and very cool. Definitly check out this article. This is the very reason that I asked for a book on genetically engineering viruses for christmas:) (evil grin) Attaching Good Genes to Bad Viruses |
