I remember my high school biology teacher talking about a thing called "Saturday Morning Science"at Mizzou. She kind of laughed about it and said it was only for hard core science nerds who couldn't get enough during classes through the week. I'm no science nerd, but I'm about to head out for the Monsanto Auditorium in the Life and Sciences Center. This should be interesting...
So why am I going to spend my Saturday morning learning what an anthropology professor has to say about Neandertals? (And yes, they spelled it with no 'h'- I even looked up to see if that was proper) No, I'm not going just for the free breakfast, though that is an added bonus. I'm going for a Journalism assignment.
By tomorrow night I shall have written and submitted a two-page reflective paper on the presentation which shall prove I attended and thought critically about what was said. Not exactly a convenient assignment, but since when was homework convenient? I do like that we are pushed to take advantage of the extra knowledge and research that MU has to offer.
Here I come Saturday Morning Science!
