timerippleWhee! Icon fun! Who knew Appleworks wasn't entirely useless? Robert Vavra is a photography god.
I am now (sorta kinda) officially a Classical Civilization major. My first act as such was, predictably, to attend a lecture on string theory. I only understood about 20% of what was said, but I figure that, given my background in physics, that was pretty impressive. As Rebecca said afterward, there were definitely some Flatland moments. I love that book! However, as I stupidly forgot to bring my ruler and there are none to be found in my beloved Science Center, I must adjourn the LJ-fun and attempt to draw straight lines so that my Bio lab notebook doesn't look like a complete mess. Pretty, pretty sea urchin pictures! More sea urchin fun tomorrow as well. I found some beautiful photos I though I'd lost - gorgeous pluteus larvae. I know most of you aren't Bio people. It's okay.

Normal modes of vibration and following along when she was doing taxonomic stuff on elementary particles was about as far as I got. There was oodles of mathy stuff that I've simply never heard mentioned before... and that's only the start. But it was fun, wasn't it! Diving over one's head frequently is, don't you find?
And cheers for clcv and being a legitimate declared person.
