How to use BLAST Link | Wonder How To The Learning Project — by topic This is a free book that I have written for teenagers interested in taking control of their lives. It addresses learning in a general sense by interviewing different people and asking them to describe their learning process, why it's important, how they do it, and what it's done for them. The interviews are with young, middle-aged, and older people working or interested in either of 11 different fields. The same interviews can be viewed by field of interest, by age, or by name. For some people school is important, for others it isn't. "The greatest act of rebellion anyone can ever hope to achieve... is to actually break the mold and THINK for yourself: to open your eyes." — Jamie Stuart, from "Eyes Wide Shut"

The Project Gutenberg eBook of Tender Buttons, by Gertrude Stein. Biology 572: Bacterial Plasmids The wise molecular biologist tells us the tale: Once upon a time, a plasmid met a cell, and they struck up a conversation. Saith the plasmid, "Kind cell, I bring thee a gene for antibiotic resistance, and if you let me in, I shall repay you by showing you how to make an enzyme that might save your life one day." Just then, a massive wave of thermal energy struck them both, and it was all he could do to not lose his footing, standing as he was on the cell membrane. The cell was not so lucky, however. Then, as quickly as it had started, the problem was over. "Ah! "Not bad", he said. "Remember me?" "Yes, you were right", said the cell. The generations passed, and the cell divided many times. I would say "They lived happily ever after", but sadly that is not the end of the story. Then the cells in the big colony became lazy. The colony actually believed itself to be quite progressive on this point. One day, a toothpick scraped the colony from a plate and carried it high into the sky.
