Although computers have changed the face of University Education, I still find it remarkable how many students take notes by hand rather than on a laptop. I know my personal reasons. They have to do with distractions.
And now I realize I may not be the only one. I have now realized that most students on [...]
As my last scuba trip related post, I would like to briefly mention the other critters I got to see on my dives.

Possibly the weirdest looking one was the sea cucumber. The one we picked up had to be about a foot long and thicker than my wrist. [...]
Many of my friends know how much I like to say “Sleep deprivation has effects similar to alcohol consumption”. They struggle through the day after writing a horrendous paper, and then I come up with that small snide statement.
Well, now its my turn. I was writing a paper last night and got caught up with [...]
I’m up late writing my psychopathology paper on Schizophrenia for Psychology…. It’s giving me a headache as I face my worst writer’s block ever.
I’m supposed to be using examples from “A Beautiful Mind”, explaining if the media’s portrayal of the disorder is correct.
Here’s an excerpt from the paper–

We were analyzing the athropods in soil samples, checking for biodiversity in my Ecology Discussion.
I must say, I think our pair had it made, because although all our specimins were dead, we didn’t have to deal with mites or sprintails or symphyla. I mean, we had our fair share of springtails under our microscope, but [...]

Here is what I saw:
Daffodils (Narcissus) and Crocuses (Crocus) outside of Carson Dining
People used [...]
One the drive out from Eugene (I-5 north), I noticed many scampering lambs. I have been reading a lot of James Herriot’s books lately ( He was a Yorkshire Veterinarian who treated farm animals.) He was always talking about lambing season, and treating sheep.
So it was exciting for me to look out at all the [...]
I’m looking to submit the podcast to iTunes over the weekend, but I want a good branding for biojournalism.com before I do so. iTunes uses a 300px x 300px logo, this site uses a significantly longer and shorter version. I’m just looking for a small logo to represent biojournalism.com. I would prefer the text can stand-alone, so that it can be selectable text for the header (SEO and HTML semantics).
Kallen is currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Biology and Journalism at the University of Oregon and, of course, writing a blog.
