Halloween, the single-most over-rated holiday on the calendar. Here is a brief list of what is better than Halloween: bicycles, smart pigs, nice dental hygenists, organic peanut butter, your favorite pair of socks and mediocre vanilla ice cream.
The Chemistry students discussed the article that they will use next week for the school-wide write during which all students will write an essay regarding a prompt about fear. We discussed the possibilities of a North Korean nuclear attack on the west coast which, while possible within the next couple of years, is probably not very likely. Nukes are some nasty stuff.
The AP Biology students went over the techniques of genetically engineering an organism that are not only possible but are being used quite regularly. We also checked out a little of GATACA, a perfect movie about genetic engineering.

    It's my world-famous blog! Actually, it's famous among cool people that I know that are my students, past and present.
