My neuroscience course assessment consists of two 30% exams and 40% PEER-ASSESSED GROUP WORK.

*cuts a bitch*

This post gets the 'science is painful' icon just for that. Ugh. I was really looking forward to this course, too.

Oh oh oh though. My ecology of health & disease outline makes me stupidly happy. SARS and influenza and AIDS and asthma and cancer and malaria and smallpox and TB and plague. And I'm doing the group assignment for this course (what is it with second year biology and group work?) on current issues in reproductive technology, which should be really interesting.

Genetics looks to be exactly what we did last year, only in three times more depth. Goodo.

And I should probably get back to fighting my way through this visual detection of motion textbook so I can work out what my fourth course research is going to be on. It's like trailblazing in a sodding jungle, I swear. I have to hack away at things until I can see even the faintest glimmer of light.

Vanishing of the non-Fourier components at the appropriate intersection luminance requires logarithmic luminance compression before motion analysis.

Yeah. What the fuck, textbook. Please make sense.

I am not a huge one for self-reflection, generally. But Ji managed to pull some stuff out of me by asking the right question.

This will be of no interest to many people, I'm sure, but I feel I should make an effort to share this sort of thing more often. Because I very seldom open up. So. Throwing this out there, unlocked and unadorned.
