This blog is for anyone who is interested in talking about parasites in a relatively philosophical, or even symbolic, sort of way. "Parasites" includes parasitic ideas, too! Parasitism is the most common way of life on earth, yet the vast majority of people, including biologists, believe it is something to be ignored. That attitude is simply wrong.

Comments to BIOS 101 students about their Friday writings.
Collective feedback, after the first eight weeks of the semester, to my 251 BIOS 101 students about their extemporaneous Friday writings and follow-up self-assessments. I wish you could all read these papers; they're the rough equivalent of a 251-person focus group that meets every Friday for four hours.
