I know nothing about computers. Please don't point and laugh .

I watch them on the telly with a device that play's stuff that's stolen from the internets. It's called a hexbawks. :smilie4:

 

[SLS]

Yeah I know.....I just thought the answer would be boring . Biology.

 

[swymmer2004]

Oh yeah. What are they then? Can't say I've ever given much thought to the taxonomy of the millipede .

 

[Harold S]

Yeah , it sounds it. :blink:

Who amongst us hasn't created a genetically modified mouse.

Are you now happy with what you do or do you see it as a stepping stone to other things. For example would you wish to work in the academic labs, or do you prefer the "fiddly" bits you are currently working on.

I'm not making a value judgement there, though I can see how it might sound as if I am. Just curious on how you see your career developing.

Well I'm kind of doing a bit of both. I've got co-authorship on a paper being submitted by one of the labs. We hear back in about 3 weeks if it's been accepted by the journal. That'll be my first . I could have gone down the PhD route (maybe), but I couldn't see where it would take me. I applied for a few posts but my heart wasn't in it. I was worried I would end up with a doctorate working as a sales girl for Glaxo SmithKline or something :O. The way I saw it only the best should get a doctorate...the kind of person who is capable of finding the questions, not just the answers. I'm very good at finding the answers but fuck me if I know what the questions are. I didn't want to waste my time and everyone else's....end up with a token doctorate and no real good to do with it. I think you only need one if you're good enough to be a lab head, and I'm not.

This way I can become really good at something specific, which suits me, and then colaborate with the labs now and again. I also have my own projects I'm doing that could lead to published research within the technical progress side. Anyway, all great discoveries are preceded by great leaps in technology. Scientists can't find things out until someone gives them the tools to do it. Maybe one day I'll have built up enough work to get a retrospective doctorate.

I had the sound off when I watched it so I haven't a clue what you are all talking about. :blink:

Great post.

True story.

Does she do that old lady type of drunkeness where they laugh like drains for hours on end and keep thumping you on the arm in that 'eh? EH?' sort of a way? :fist:

My mum is an old hippy so she thinks she's hella-cool when drunk. She may even dance. If this happens at the VF I'm leaving her there. There's no thumping but she starts laughing like a hysterical Greek owl and can't stop. "Hooo hooo hoo hooo hoo hooooooooooo" uch:

 

[mr_j526]

What about that shark attacks whale vid on youporn.
Is that wrong.

 

[sunshinegurl:))]

She sounds like a hoot!

(sorry :lol

 

[vsprincess]

Maybe we're the same person. So which one of us is Brad Pitt and which one is Edward Norton?

I'd be the short squat one. You are, I think, taller and blonder than me?

 

[laced.lips]

Ooooo, spooky, that sounds like the last syllable of my name . You sure you're not just pished and seeing double?

i was drunk :dabs:

 

[Cherise]

Not boring at all, it interests me.

Did you complete this course and go on to be a biologist or do something else.

 

[ierullo]

They are classed as "diplopoda" of the subphylum "myriapoda" of the phylum "arthropoda" of the kingdom of "animalia".

"creepy crawlies" for short :blink:

 

[Margo Lane]

Observant and 100% right....you're on a roll .

 

[P.B.]

Ooooo, spooky, that sounds like the last syllable of my name .

Well giant centipedes do scavenge as well as catch live prey so a dead one is perfectly OK.

I actually have no issue with the centipede, its motivation is not in question. They are predators, they eat. However, the motivation of the video makers is an issue. They are getting their jollies at the expense of the mouse. A small thing perhaps but I tend to distrust those so jollied as it is often a small step to more vicious past times.

My objection is solely with the video makers - unattractive though I find the wee multi-legged type.

That's the point, they only recorded nature they didn't cause or manipulate it.

Much as we may find their motivation unpalatable their product is probably more accurate than that created and broadcast by serious natural historians.

 

[Friz79]

Rubbish! You're going too far now. How is putting prey and predator in an empty confined space going to teach anyone anything about their behaviour? All it shows can be predicted without the use of film.
