Everything we take in is good for you. Some things we cant have to much of or it is not good for you. As long as you have it in the moderation your suppose to have it in its alright.

I would not draw the line between any of these. If we took out some of these species our world would be over populated. All of these are here for a reason. When we first had to draw the line I drew it between the poisonous snakes and the sharks. S...

First, I had no idea that the South Beach Diet Plan wasn't a good thing to use! I was really surprised when we read that! Beside that, when it comes to the image shown above, I like when it's drawn out rather than what's shown in the prompt. To m...

Favorite plant and/or animal and why:
plant: Lygodesmia juncea - "Skeleton Weed", because it is a hard-nosed and tough minimalist where only the hardy survive.

You've Been Nominated!

Guess what: our shiny little network has recently made the final nomination cut for the Eddies... the 2008 Edublogs Awards. Principles of Biology was nominated in the category of "best educational use of a social networking service." Our site made the final cut from all original nominees and is now open for voting.

I was not aware that the site was nominated until I was voting there, category by category myself, and was quite s… Continue

"Storm of the Century?" -An Interesting Use of Ning

Gustav is one ugly storm. It is a category 4 storm that only lost wind speed by 10mph as it passed over land in Cuba today. Even uglier is the path it is taking. Gustav is taking a steady NW aim toward Louisiana, and perhaps, New Orleans.

How long has the Live Traffic Feed been on here? Its a really cool addition to the site, I always liked the cluster map but that has a better effect I think because you can see who is checking out the site at any moment :)

Perspectives on what biology students do and study elsewhere in the world is both relevant and can really stimulate further discussion among students --> leading to better understanding about difficult concepts (eg evolution) or complex processes (say respiration). I've noticed that students using our Discussion group forums in Blackboard benefit from peer feedback and these interactions help to clarify things.

Further, students (wherever they are) can be inspired by your vids (very neat, great soundtrack!) on fieldwork in exotic places, and better appreciate this wonderful but fragile world we inhabit.

Students also learn other skills like netiquette and how to ask appropriate questions about misconceptions etc, without asking for easy answers.

Hey from sunny Oz: this is a great networking site and think the posts add value to college and uni biology education - will recommend my students join. Good luck with the Edublog awards!

i was wondering if there was anyway that you can keep us posted on what our grades are in your class. i just figured since you email us other things that you could do that also. sometimes i don't have internet connection so it makes it hard for me to post by certain times, so i do it when i do get my internet to work. but i don't always know if i get it all done.

it would just be nice to stay updated on how i'm doing! thanks.

During this class periods (that I mostly missed) my personal goal was to learn how i can make my diet better then it is now. I figured out what specific parts of the ingredients are good, bad or which one you should look at according to your bodie...

The food that I brought was apples and Wheat Thins. The apple slices were healthy. I know this because it was 100% Carbohydrates and nothing else. I think that the carbohydrates came from fructose mainly. The Wheat Thins, then, were obviously the...

In the discussion i choose raisins and ho-ho's. I choose the raisins as the healthy food because it is a dried fruit so i figured it didn't have very much fat. I choose the snack cake as the unhealthy food because it had a large amount of calories...

Well my healthy food that I chose was an apple, because I usually eat around 2 a week so I figured that would be the perfect healthy food for me to look up. I figured it was healthy because for one it's a fruit, it's natural, and it doesn't have a...

I learned quite a bit today about "healthy" and "unhealthy" foods. From previously looking into this topic I learned that marketing plays a huge role on what foods we believe to be "healthy." My "healthy choice" is the perfect example. My healthy ...

I really didn't pay any attention as to how much i ate or what i ate. Being active i really didn't care it was food so i ate it I'm sure a lot of us do the same thing. I hear all kinds of diet ads saying the fast easy way to loose weight just do t...

According to the little BMR thing, I need 2041 calories per day. This opened my eyes because not everything you eat is healthy, or at least the stuff that you think is healthy really is not, and I like the fact that we learned how to calculate th...

My "good" food was Nacho Cheese Doritos the reduces fat ones we get in the cafeteria. Sometimes for lunch when i get a sandwich at school. Well compared to my unhealthy one it was closer then what i thought it would be. I was comparing the labels ...

My healthy food wasn't really a food, it was a small bottle of Gatorade. It was healthy compared to my other choice which was Kelloggs Pop Tarts. The pop tarts weren't necessarily unhealthy but they are as good for you as the Gatorade. Right now i...

So, I'm gonna start with my "healthy" food. It was a banana! I don't eat bananas too often, but my dad buy's them a lot. They're always sitting on my counter. And honestly when I do eat them, the main reason is because it's my healthy choice over ...

My healthy food was a Quaker Granela Bar(chocolate chunk). I will sometimes eat this food between school and cheer practice. This food was not as healthy as the food label says it is. The food label said there was 90 calories but there was acctual...

Today when we analyzed 'healthy' & 'non-healthy' foods I brought in Apple Sauce & Nutty Bars. My 'healthy' food was apple sauce, I didn't eat it because it was hot, so yeah..I think this food is actually healthy because it has 100% carbs, and not...

My healthy food that I chose was raw shrimp with some spices. It turned out to only have four calories: zero calories from carbs or fat, and the four came from protein. It obviously turned out to be extremely healthy. I don't eat shrimp often, but...

Today, you analyzed a "healthy" food, as well as a food that you thought was not "healthy" In your post today, talk about when you learned when analyzing your food. Here is what I want you to consider: Tell us a little about your healthy food - ...

I don't think I would take out any species, no matter how annoying or "gross" they are. They're probably all useful in some way, and I wouldn't want to be the one to mess the food chain up. Poisonous snakes, I do understand, pose a threat to human...
