The information on Sarin was incredibly helpful and clarified what I had read in other sources, which enabled me to participate a ton in class that day.
Topic Writing Assignment #4 was very pleasant work to do because it really helped me understand many if not all of the topic we've covered: reprodgenetics (Cloning, nuclear transfer); Eugenics (how GMO's will be naturally selected to breed); Transgenics (How a gene from one organism can be spliced into another); and perhaps even chemical warfare (make a purposeful allergen from a spliced gene, or a gene that would affect a country's main food source).
It was also less like a paper, but with the same (if not more!) time put into it to visualize and condense the information into a few figures.
I also began reading Demon in the Freezer, which illustrates the history of smallpox, the science behind smallpox, and the details of outbreaks and possible eradication. It begins with an anthrax attack on a citizen, then divulges into talking about smallpox, so I can only assume bio terrorists grew anthrax in a smallpox culture and are now going to kill everyone.
