This is it fans. The last blog of the semester for Biology and Human Concerns. I admit I have been a bad blogger at times throughout the semester, but I also feel that I have kept my audience entertained. I was a bit sporadic about when to blog and the blogs never did come at the same time every week. For that, I would like to apologize but I would also like to say it has taught me a few things. For one, I need to learn how to stick to a game plan and follow it through until the end. I am going to keep the blog up even though my time with Biology and Human Concerns is coming to an end. I enjoy writing blogs and I feel as if it is a good way to relief oneself from the stresses of the world. For this last blog, I am going to discuss my favorite blogs. Going back to the first blog, I did not really know where was I was going with it but it got me somewhere. In that blog, I talked about how everything has an effect and the effect only gets worse as it moves through its cycle. I expanded on this a little bit more in the blog about bio-accumulation and DDT, which happens to be my favorite blog. To remind you guys, DDT is an organic chemical compound that is dangerous to our health and the health of whatever it touches. On the bright side, it is effective is controlling malaria but unfortunately it was banned in the United States. Rachel Carson is responsible for helping ban DDT and shedding light on its dangerous effects. Another blog that I enjoyed writing was the blog post about venom and poison. I really enjoyed this blog because I did not know that there really was a difference. I honestly thought that venom was just more potent than poison and only snakes had venom. Turns out though that venom and poison do not differ much on potency because they both are really potent. The actually difference is the way in which the toxin is delivered or received. Normally, venom is injected through a bite and poison is through touch or ingestion. With this blog, I also looked at the most venomous animals in Kentucky. The timber rattlesnake is the largest venomous snake in Kentucky and it is common in the woods. Luckily, this snake is non-aggressive so it will not harm anyone unless it is provoked. Another blog that I enjoyed writing was the blog about ants. When I spent time watching ants, I was fascinated by their hard work and strength. The amount of strength that ants have is insane. If humans had the same proportion of strength that ants have to their body then humans would be able to pick up cars and carry them. Imagine what sports would look like if humans had this amount of strength. To end, In enjoyed every last one of my blogs and I am going to miss having to post each week. I will probably post once a month and depending on if I have something funny or interesting to say I will post immediately. Bye guys...
