About Me

biology101
I'm the empty vessel of the title. By day I cook up a dash of cell biology, a dollop of genetics, a pinch of biochemistry, and a fat-armed-school-dinner-lady scoop of speculation. By night I obsess about whether my design is backwards enough, trawl the internet for educational resources and speculate a little more.
