Amino anime

I noticed another poor chapter in our syllabus that has not been given any blog space here. So here's a link to some animations on amino acid basics.

Welcome!

I thought I'd just post a welcome shout out to the new batch of students. So, all those from the new intake please leave your comment here so I know you've been able to access the blog. And those of you who have been around for a slightly longer time now do help the newbies out ok! Hope your A Level experience will be a pleasant one!

Oh and don't forget to drop by for the debate if you people don't have classes. ;)

Evolution debate!

I trust all of those who are involved in the debate are very excited about it? Let me give you more exciting news. I'll have to postpone the debate for the March '06 group to Tuesday (16/1/07). That should be a relief to you. January '06 you're still on for the debate on the 17th. Oh! One other thing...I'm opening the debate to anyone who wants to come and watch. So you might get lecturers or other students coming ya. So you better prepare well!

Here are the websites that'll help:
For evolution
http://www.stephenjaygould.org/
* Check out the Library for articles and People for famous evolutionists. Note in particular people like Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Dawkins, Thomas Huxley, Steven Pinker and Carl Sagan.

Against evolution
http://www.arn.org/
* Look under Featured Authors and some of the good ones are Michael Behe, Philip Johnson, William Dembski (I just saw his book today) and Jonathan Wells(the book he wrote that I couldn't remember is "Icons of Evolution").

Happy preparing!
