Monday, December 12, 2011. I learned about bioethanol when we went to the lab at the law school. Bioethanol is created out of sugars, and those can be gotten from a number of plants, but mostly just those that have a lot of fibrous bits in them. Rood told us about his father and the way that he created a system of production that makes both paper and fuel out of banana trees. I am afraid that those trees are grown on plantations with wage slavery populations. That is sad to me if it is true.
Wednesday, December 7, 2011. Was an unusually severe and deadly pandemic that spread across the world. T can be predicted that there will be a lot more deaths in the year of 1918 compared to other years near to it. Also we wanted to see what age group and sex was most effected by the spanish flu. We can do this by creating a life table. People were quarantined during the Spanish Flu epidemic. Poster warning of the Epidemic. Tuesday, December 6, 2011.
Tuesday, November 22, 2011. This organism was the start of all vertebrates. It was living 250 years ago and only was 5 centimeters long. It had little body structures that resembled a spine. Yet had no limbs or anything as such to make it able to do much. This is pretty wild to me to be the start of vertebrates. Monday, November 7, 2011. Tuesday, October 11, 2011.
