Oh hi,
My name is Bridgett Winzer and I am originally from Augusta, KS. After my time at K-State I hope to go to either Portland, OR or Memphis, TN for optometry school.
Things that I am passionate about include learning, sloths, my faith, and all things eyes! Did you know that sloths can SWIM?! See for yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7HGSvczDA4. Anyway, biology is an ongoing pursuit, but I am constantly in awe about how many things that are required just to live. Be it the specific jobs of organelles and the biochemical processes that must occur, or the cooperation of organs within a human being, the intricacies of biology continues to amaze.
One way evolution can relate to my daily life is that the bacteria from everything I touch can adapt with every generation. This is especially important to remember in the medical field due to the growing antibiotic resistance from microbes.
I hope that coming out of this class, I will have an educated stance on evolution and maybe even learn a little about coding?
Fin.
What got you into Optometry?
ReplyDeleteAs a kid I had problems with eye contact so relearning that emphasized how important eyes can be. Also it aligns with my strengths in science and health!
DeleteBacteria is a great connection to evolution!
