Yes ancient biologist that I am...

My real love is and has always been plants and secondarily "how things work."

The biology comes about because my parents were afraid i couln't support myself by studying just botany. So I said (foolish youngster that I was), "I know. I'll teach!"

Hence a double major in botany and zoology; advanced degrees in botany and sitting in on zoology and physiology courses. And then finally, not to support myself but several offspring in the throes of their educations, teaching biology. I found that I loved the history of science (hence my 'bugging you') and my students loved physiology, esp. lurid examples.

Biochemistry, fascinating; physics as it pertains to moton and physiology, fascinating; mathematics, :+(

My favorite TV program for the last couple of winter seasons is "Numb3rs," bout a math professor at California Polytechnical who helps his FBI brother solve crimes by using mathematical analysis. Why,O, Why...could mathematics not been taught that way when I was in school!

Now that the offspring are educated and fuly employed with offpsing of their own, I can settle in to what I really love - plants, landscape design and writing. And it goes without saying, I love knowing what my fellow Suite101 colleagues are thinking and reading what they are writing about.
