Hi Georgene,

Obviously, we have a lot in common in science, but you have lots more to offer. Double major, and in Zoology at that! I think that was my lowest grade in science, haha! My passion has always been classical music so I'd most likely be in the concert hall watching a night performance before a long exam the next day. My bad! No, I should have studied ahead of time. But then, I wouldn't miss the concert either. ;)

I always had affinity with science people, just like in Uni, we had this 10-pin tourney with sceince studes primarily in maths, botany, bio and physics.

We compliment each other, for while you are more interested in "how things work" I am most interested with the science movers and shapers, or for world shapers for that matter. I've focused on this in my personal life since I was in high school that I can be lost in all encyclopedias, dictionaries, companion books of all these disciplines.

Chemistry came about because family/cousins were primarily maths profs so I thought why not chemistry. I actually started with Chemical Engineering, but them I was the only female and all the cheeky guys in my class used to tease me it was unbecoming of me carrying the heavy drawing board and all that. So, I transferred to BSChem. Then I hardly practiced chem after graduation as I moved into the IT corp world. I had to say my gentle 'bye bye' to my favourite model scientist Madame Curie in silence. ;)

Oh no, you're not "bugging" me, perhaps "jolting" my memory back to science history.

I enjoyed my physics a lot because my professor made things interesting, unlike my terror maths professors esp that one in calculus. No, we don't have that TV program "Numbers" otherwise I won't miss it for anything. I love watching Trivia quizzies, Jeopardy and quizzes like "who want to be a millionaire" on TV.

Sorry, I'm not into landscape design so I can't contribute into your interesting category, but now that you got me enthused, I'll sure be reading your featured pieces. In particular, I enjoyed your "Historic Garden Landscapes" and I'm sure the others will be equally interesting.

Btw, how about an article for the "Great Scientist" of your favourite botanist or zoologist. That'd be terrific Georgene. ;)

Thanks for sharing Georgene, let's do,
