  • I did not realize this was meant to be a parody. Took it seriously and kept getting more and more confused, especially at the end. Then read up on it and found out it was meant to spoof the genre. Wish I had known this going in. Things would have made so much more sense.

• Book: What is Life? by Paul Nurse
  • I have just begun reading this book, and have just finished the first chapter, on cells. What they are, how they make up both the lowest form and the buildings blocks of life, and how they are, in a way, like us, while at the same time creating us. Now on to the next chapter, genes.
