"Good afternoon."

"Please study the worksheets I am handing out now. There will possibly be a quiz next week before our first lab. The possibility is almost as certain as George W. Bush's ability to abuse the English language."

"Biology is not one science -- it is dozens of different sciences, each with its own set of tools and techniques, theories and questions, puzzles and paradigms. Here are some examples of biological sciences:

* Biochemistry: biological molecules and their interactions; metabolism
* Microbiology: bacteria, viruses, and other microscopic organisms, and their interactions with other organisms
* Botany: plant structure and functions
* Cytology: cell structures and their functions
* Physiology: functions of tissues, organs and organ systems, such as the muscular system, the nervous system, etc.
* Genetics: the mechanisms of heredity, including its molecular machinery (DNA) and its observable consequences (e.g., genetic diseases).
* Evolution: the mechanisms by which populations change over time
* Ecology: the interactions of organisms with each other and their environments.

Homework: Look up one theory of evolution and write a brief summary.
