What is Adaption?	https://www.britannica.com/science/adaptation-biology-and-physiology	Cool Stuff: "...It was so big that Russell suspected it had been faked, a concern that was dispelled through X-rays of its skeleton. Comparison with living geckos led to the surprising conclusion that it likely came from New Zealand, a country about 19,000 kilometres from France." Read on here...

Trichoplax Adhaerens (Tplax) Looking beyond classical system... Tplax has the smallest known genome in the animal kingdom, no neurons, no muscles, goes directly from cells to organisms, makes no tissues, no tissues. Reproduces by tearing itself into pieces.

University Courses

Introduction to Human Behavioral Biology Lesson 1 Prof. Robert Sapolsky Stanford University		Click here for full lecture collection (25 lessons).
Neuronal Dynamics	This course gives an introduction to the field of theoretical and computational neuroscience with a focus on models of single neurons. Neurons encode information about stimuli in a sequence of short electrical pulses (spikes). Students will learn how mathematical tools such as differential equations, phase plane analysis, separation of time scales, and stochastic processes can be used to understand the dynamics of neurons and the neural code. https://www.edx.org/course/neuronal-dynamics
Computational Neuroscience: Neuronal Dynamics of Cognition	This course explains the mathematical and computational models that are used in the field of theoretical neuroscience to analyze the collective dynamics of thousands of interacting neurons. https://www.edx.org/course/computational-neuroscience-neuronal-dynamics-of-cognition-0

Biology in Space

Genetics: Editing RNA

Trying out change, experiment with RNA so not to mess with future generations.	What you need to know about CRISPR

	Did you know? Mature red cells do not contain DNA. The inability to carry out protein synthesis due to lack of DNA means that no virus can evolve to target mammalian red blood cells.
