Introduction

This is my blog for a Human Biology Course.

Some things to know about me:

  • My favorite artist is any member from the Rat Pack, especially when they sing together. While this may lead you to believe I am old...I am actually not.
  • I am taking this class because regular biology is a little overwhelming with it being so broad. This course appears to be a little more directed.
  • During this class I hope to understand human biology.
  • Now for the interesting stuff. Here are three interesting things about me:
1. I grew up on a farm. Not interesting? This is not your conventional farm. My family rehabilitated wildlife and after they were well, released them into the wild! I have handled everything from a hawk, owl, shrew, rabbit, to deer, skunks, foxes, coyotes. Anything living in the wild in Iowa, I have seen, touched, nursed back to health.

2. I used to be an online sex columnist for "Juice" magazine.

3. I make my own bread.
