Bio Entrepreneurs





In China there is a compony called Sunhy Biology Company. They are well known for selling modern bio technology stuff including:


  • enzyme

  • phytase

  • chemical

  • veterinary

  • antibiodics

  • premix

  • acidifer

  • choline

  • chloride

  • vitmin C

  • ferrous fumarate

I believe that this company will be successful because of all the products they sell and how they are trusted by many people.

Eye Lecture




We had a guest lecture named Dr. Pamela Fong where she taught us the eye anatomy.


the basic anatomy of the eyes is...




  • iris- the colored part of the eye


  • pupil- controls how much light enters the eyeball


  • cornea- focuses the eyes


  • lens- focus light onto the back of the eye


  • retina- a fine line of tissue that lines the inner part of the eye


  • optic nerve- transmits impulses from the retina to the brain
Dr. Fong also told us facts about the eye usual people do not know.
  • You are able to tell if a person has high cholesterol or blood pressure
  • people with different color eyes have different retinas
  • everyones eyes differ

Animals stuck in time.

Recently, William Roberts and his colleagues from Western's Pychology Department studied the research of animals being able to tell how much time has past but not able to recognize past or future. The idea to study this came from realzing that dog owners notice that their dog seems very happy seeing them as five minutes away to five hours. The animal they used to do research was a rat. Once studying the rats the scientists realized rats were able to keep track of how much time passed since they were fed cheese as well as the size but were unable to place the memory in a time.

I think that that is just weird. I never really thought of an animal having a different mind then how a human has one.
