Over the Weekend...
Happy Long Weekend! Enjoy your time away but take a few moments to complete two assignments:
1) Respond thoughtfully and intelligently to each person who commented on your Genetic Engineering blog. Consider their points and suggestions and respond appropriately.
2) Start thinking about the stuff that matters to you...what are the important issues, the big questions, the controversies that puzzle you? What would you like to investigate further? Come in on Wednesday with a list of 10 questions that you would like to explore, from the most intriguing to the tenth most intriguing.
Happy Spring!
