Honestly, I’m not the type to read biographies. I never really cared about any famous people so much that I’m intrigued to learn about their whole life and the make-up of their being. I did read 4 biographies/memoirs and enjoyed 3 of them greatly. But in general, I imagined biography…

I love it when bacterial colonies grow in bright colors. Mostly the isolated ones we had and used for daily practicums are either transparent or opaque white/cream, not quite distinct from each other. But we do have some with personalities. …
