The Groove of this E-Portfolio:

To explore the fascinating worlds of the known and unknowns of BioTechnology with my new BIO 107 class during Spring 2008 with Professor Pushpa Ramakrishna.    It's been a quite a new groove getting back into science classes again, being a student, and engaging on the other side of teaching at CGCC.  I feel like I'm expanding in new ways and having fun being "in college" again, and while my brain cells get reaquainted, I'm learning new tricks too!  So my question is, does BioTech help improve memory and could it help me get an A on the next test? :)

Stay Tuned for the Wonderings and Wanderings of a New BioTech Student!
