Survey

A while back I posted a thread on a popular internet forum asking people whether or not they knew about TCS, here are the results:

48 people answered to whether or not they had heard of Treacher Collins Syndrome/knew what it was
28 people did not know what it was/had not heard of it
16 people had heard of it, although some of these were not exactly sure about the details.

A good majority of people did not know what what it was but I was pleased to see that a good few did, mainly from seeing something about it on TV. Whilst this is only a selection of 48 people and cannot be said to be representative of the wider public it does give the idea that more needs to be done to raise awareness of TCS and conditions like it.

Back at university

Hello, just thought I might as well update, having trouble coming up with a good enough topic. So I'm now back at university after enjoying a blissful two weeks after my exams mostly watching movies and playing Batman Arkam City. But of course as soon as I started back at uni I managed to catch a cold and so it was not the most enjoyable or productive week.

I got my exam results back the other day and I am rather happy with them considering the fact that I really wasn't sure how well I had done. I'm hopeful for this semester, going to hopefully get lots of reading done since it seems like we won't have long reports to do at home instead we will be doing the writeups in the practicals themselves which is a great relief as that took up most of my time last semester.

The modules I am doing this semester are:
Invertebrate Biology
Marine ecology
Molecular ecology and evolutionary genetics.

Thanks for reading and I hope to have a longer update soon.
