From now on, you must summarize the link or article you are posting, not just post it to the wiki. This wiki is to generate discussion and understanding, not just to collect the entire internet :)Threads may be locked or even deleted if they do not comply.
On this wiki, you will converse with your classmates about important topics covered in class...Sometimes you will submit homework here or even essays. You can use it as a study forum, or just to chat. it is YOUR website. You can set up an RSS feed by clicking "Notify Me"...That way, messages will appear in your email ASAP. Make this wiki what you wish. There will be many extra credit opportunities here as well as the eboard!

Is There More Biology In Your Future?
With global problems like climate change and health care, there is more career potential in biology and associated fields than any other. Competition is very fierce for good jobs, let alone jobs that require the most skill and offer the most reward and satisfaction. Your task is to research and present a profession to the class. In a brief oral presentation (no more than 5 minutes) prepare to discuss the following:
1. What is the career you have researched? -Bioinformatics
2. Describe the work itself. Where would you work? What activities does the job require?
Bioinformatics Specialists design and apply computer systems and databases to organize, analyze,
and mine biological data. The ultimate goal of the field is to enable the discovery of new biological insights. Work in a science lab. laboratory, classroom, or an industrial setting.
3. What kind of education do you need to do this job? Be specific; advise someone about what degrees are required and what those programs entail. What higher degrees are needed?
-Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or bioinformatics
-experience using and programming relational databases
-Experience developing web-based applications
-Familiarity with the use of open source software libraries in software development
-Knowledge of a scientific data analysis package such as R or MATLAB, as well as background in the biological sciences
4. Where would someone go to college to learn how to do this job?
Texas A&M
5. Does it pay well? Find salary information on this profession.
$93,368 per year
6. Where would you work? If you were in this profession, where do you picture yourself working? (For example, as a paleontologist, you may want to work at a museum, and choose a specific museum such as the AMNH or the ANSP, and conduct field work in New Mexico).
1. Laboratory in New Jersey Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory

7. How would you use your education in biological science in this profession?

7. What kind of contributions to society would you make? Can you identify specific problems to tackle or questions to answer?
8. Find examples of people who are in your profession. Present something interesting about their contribution to the field. Are they famous scientists nearby? Are they doctors whom you can interview?
Make your presentation interesting…The more of your classmates that could be persuaded to consider your profession, the better your grade.
Use the following websites to select a career. Be as specific as possible. If you are interested in medicine, pick a specific discipline. If you are interested in zoos, museums, hospitals, larger organizations or companies, select a specific job title.

questions
Thank you soooo much, Carina :D

questions
1.If a barn owl producesone pellet each day, estimate how much food an owl eats in one year. Use class averages to calculate your response.

2.The skeletons in these pellets provide information about small mammal populations in owl habitats of Northwest Washington. What information could we be missing about the diversity and abundance of all the small mammal populations? ( hint: think about the owl's hunting behavior)

3. Enviornmentalists are concerned about the accumulation of certain toxins in the bodies if predators. Why do you think the top predators like owls are often the most threatened organisms in a community that is exposed to toxins like DDT or mercury?

4. What might you hypothesize if you found owl pellets that had consistently less prey remains than the ones you analyzed in class?

5. Draw the food web of the owl's community. Be sure to include arrows that show the energy flow through the trophic levels.
