I am a biology major :3 Ha big shock I know, should've been expected since I love this game and animals so much. Anyway I love biology so so so much. I love the labs, I'm specifically fascinated by genetics and heredity (a special interest developed at the ripe old age of 8 after watching Bill Nye the Science Guy for the first time ever) I recently found a family tree/pedigree chart I made in 8th grade based off a game I made up myself. Basically you had the parental plants/organisms, the alleles, and a punnet square. Set up the punnet square to have the parental info, spun a pencil, and wrote out the next generation based off what squares the pencil landed on. Not sure if I'm explaining it well, so I'll probably get some pictures later tonight to explain better. I also love Malacology, though honestly I've only ever focused on gastropods :'D Snails and slugs!! And gastropod asymmetry is so so cool!! For example, snail shells always swirl on the right, and if it faces the other direction they actually need to find another left sided snail to reproduce. It's extremely rare, AND all of the offspring will be right sided! That's so wild!! I love ecology and really want to either working in environmental sciences, or genetics, or biological illustration... Just too many things interest me AGH So Feel free to ramble away your favourite science facts, subjects, specialisations, or special interests! |

I'll definitely come here to ramble about my classes and science labs by the way, and may even share my bio notes from last year. Also for anyone who needs fundamental bio help hit me up in pms, I'd love to help! This year I'm in Anatomy and Physiology and Organic Chemistry! Chem isn't really my subject At all >> but I'm excited nonetheless. |

Hello Wilverbeast,
When I began college. I was also aiming for a biology major. College was a whole lot easier for me but unfortunately math was not my thing and hurt my career path. The direction I was heading for was the zoology department. I almost went to Michigan State for zoology. Yet I had a lot of fun meeting requirement despite things not working out. I interned at a vet office, went to a sleep over at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach California, did a zoo intern, volunteered at a shelter, volunteered with a trap and release group in our area through a friend. Which I learned a lot from doing all those internships and volunteer opportunities. A lot of fun too. :) Years, laters I am a paraprofessional and work with students. ^^ |

Ah I completely forgot about how cool zoology is!! Thank you for sharing your experiences, those are so neat *^* Also props to you for working in education :3 🩷 I have all the respect for educators of any sort and that's incredible. |

Science has always been my favorite! This year, I'm in accelerated science and I hope to start A career in science as A Clinical Research Manager. Biology seems really cool and genealogy seems like A fun thing to explore and learn about! But then again, psychology is just so fascinating and we've barely scratched the surface of it. I don't know what field of clinical research to do but I still have A couple years left to decide. Maybe over the summer, I can play around with punnett squares and figure out the chances of me getting the traits I have. I hope to be an active commenter on this forum and am delighted to see A fellow science nerd! |

I *love* binging strange zoology videos, especially ones about evolution and extinct creatures. *^* I used to watch a ton of dinosaur and prehistoric documentaries as a kid, and it's so crazy seeing how much has been discovered just since then!! |

Just had my first week of classes. I am SO excited!! *^*
I'm taking anatomy an physiology and organic chemistry and have labs for both. I'll share note soon! |
