• Question: Hay Kate just to let you know that I'm voting for you!:) Also we're doing reproduction in science and have to do a project on it, do you have any tips or interesting facts to do with reproduction? Thanks!:) @477tema52

      Thanks! I think the most onteresting thing about reproduction is actually the huge number of ways that the plant and animal kingdoms have developed to manage it….. from the display dances of the bird of paradise to the chat up lines you hear in the student bar, from the spreading of pollen using bees, to the dispersal of eggs on the ocean tides….. to journeys of 1000’s miles that some birds and whales and butterflies make to raise their young. The ability of life to adapt and find a way to make sure each species continues is amazing. Sorry if that’s not particularly helpful with your projectm but I was never all that good at biology and it was the ecology side of things that always interested me. Maybe if we could have done ecology at school I might have been more excited by it, but it was always the physical sciences that I liked the best.
