It's sad but I believe it. When I told this girl (college aged) that I do research on genetics, she looked me straight in the eye and said, "What's genetics?" I was a bit stunned since I never prepared myself to actually answer a questions like that, so I said it was DNA and all that. I don't think that clarified much for her.

I think the solution needs more people orientated science teachers in elementary, middle, and high school. d of blood.

In some ways I degree. I had to have a lot of anatomy in my schooling.

The old schoolers had to learn from Gray's Anatomy, which was largely written descriptions, vs. pictures. Boo! And people that learned it the hard way wanted us to, also.

My Ananatomy professor, who had a PhD in Anatomy, would take 30 minutes describing a principle of knee anatomy/ mechanics and only make it more confusing. Once I learned it on my own, I explained it to my grandma in 30 seconds and she explained it back to me correctly. :crazy: He's sure smart, though, and we all knew it.

I wonder if they took 365 days or even 364.25 as acceptable answers. Because it's technically 364.24, not 365.25 like most people think.

Ah that makes me sad for her. I honestly have so much to learn about science but i learned that stuff in 8th grade. But it could have definately been her teacher or something.
