Ok - so I LOVE your posts about The Hot Zone. I too love it and agree that some of it can be confusing in the back and forth.. I found myself making notes in the margins and dog earring pages so I could go back and re-read or reference. It's hard to remind yourself that this is non-fiction!! I agree that Nancy Jaxx is pretty impressive. I don't know if I could do what she does. Had it been fiction, Tyler, I think you are right that she would have been infected. But not everyone comes out of this unscathed. And Ansley, I am glad you are so candid with your response to the book. It is pretty gross and yes, scary. I hope that over the course of the year, you will find that being armed with information can make things a little less scary. Of course, that doesn't change the reality! One of the ideas I get out of this is how, the more we know the less we know. It's what I find so fascinating about biology and why I love it so much.
Now for some business: 1- I have only heard back from Tyler confirming that he understands about the text. I want to hear from all of you.
2- Let's now get in the habit of commenting on each other's posts. That's one of the main points of this blog - a way for us to have "class" discussions online.
3- Hope you are enjoying not only your summer, but also this assignment :)
4- P.S. after this past weel with College Board's APBio Summer Institute I am SO EXCITED to share with you!!!
