"You might be surprised to know that you have tons of viruses coursing through your veins right now."
-Dr. Berges, Molecular Biology 240 lecture.
I can't say I'm fond of being host to little demons floating around in my body. But then, I figure that I'm a parasite of sorts myself - or at least a symbiont. It's theorized that a long time ago our mitochondria were bacteria incorporated by eukaryotes and a beautiful symbiotic relationship was formed.
I like these little tidbits I pick up in class. It's too bad physics doesn't come as easily - it just consistently proves its own concepts wrong in the labs. Just one more semester....
Cheers to a resurrected blog!
