In class blog

Which of your experiences have raised interesting questions or created unusual associations in your mind?
Through the food handler's class I took to get a Food Safety card, I learned a great deal about sanitation and the spread of bacteria. It got me to thinking about the epidemiology of food-borne illnesses, and I wondered about the conditions that allow outbreaks of e.coli, salmonella, and other bacteria.
What intriguing events have you noticed while walking on campus, attending class, working at your job, or watching television?

As I have a poor memory of thing that happen in my life, it's hard to pick out one thing. one thing I've often wondered is why construction occurs during the day, where it causes traffic, instead of during night, where the effects on commuters would not be as severe. There must be an answer to that somewhere. maybe?

What problem would you like to solve?

I'd like to find some way to do something better than it is currently done, increase efficiency or efficacy of something.

Topics I'm interested in:
Diseases and epidemiology
Food additives and their effects on human physiology
Hazardous substances inside computers.
