I am now studying microbial life and while I thought I had finished a major part of biochemistry it turns out that microbes have their own complex biochemistry of metabolism and so I am still learning it. The overall material is now becoming extremely complex in both technical information and study. I have to get my tutor to help me work out a better plan for studying because it is becoming so deep and it is only going to get even harder. I am enjoying what I am studying a lot but the sheer volume of information is extremely overwhelming.
One area that has begun to interest me is animal rights and animal testing. I was basically flung straight into animal testing in certain chapters I am covering and it didn't say much in the way of ethics. So this played on my mind and I have since started to read up on Animal Liberation. Right now I am reading 'Animal Liberation' by Peter Singer and it is an amazing although horrific read and has a very strong potential to change my worldview.
I finished reading Darwin's Dangerous Idea by Dan Dennett. I recommend it for anyone interested in the philosophy of evolution. I am currently watching Battlestar Galactica Season 4 and Season 1 of Six Feet Under. Both are excellent television series. I am also watching Mysterious World by Arthur C. Clarke from the 1980s, and am still playing Resident Evil 5. I am also reading Richard Dawkins Unweaving the Rainbow.
