When I said about second generation immigrants I meant to say that my grandparents immigrated when they were young, and the white (UK) ancestors of most everyone I knew were similar.
But of course... I'm definitely old enough to have spawned at least one generation... So maybe 3 or 4 generations might be more accurate...
And things are different in different parts of the country. I'm talking about a farming region whereas people arrived earlier for different things (e.g., Otago gold rush).
I f*ck*d up the cell differentiation. Doh! The ones in contact with the zona pellucida / outside express YAP and then tead4 which results in their becoming epithelial / trophoblast cells. The ones not in contact with the shell / the ones surrounded by other cells have inhibited YAP expression and they are (remain? develop into?) inner cell mass cells...
Then... The salt and pepper differentiation was about epiblast vs hypoblast differentiation...
Embroyology is surprisingly cool. Probably because we have this terrific little lady who goes on about sci fi suckers and the like... And makes the whole thing kinda gross / cool for the science geeks. Not sure how you get from radiology to embryology...
Anyway... Biosci is an awesome paper. Mostly taught from the medsci people... I really like the 'traditional' cell / devo biology stuff... Really, a whole heap. Chem is going pretty good too, I think... Have some reactions to memorise (and haven't got up to the second chunk of alcohols etc yet)... But I really like it's logic... Except for naming esters... That sucks and I simply don't get it...
Population health... Only one of the papers matters for med. The other one (the more random one) I only need to worry about maintaining my average (so a B or B+ will be fine). The one that matters... We basically did a bunch of stuff on experimental methodology / epidemiological study / randomised control trials... It is... Surprisingly boring, actually. Anyway...
