overall i benefited from friend feed as it made me review my lecture through out the course well as keeping in touch with friends who have found useful sites for our assignments and lectures. i also found friends benificial in answering direct questions. i like to thank alll my subscribers and friends for the help they have given me through friends feed. i appreciate it all.

this website is for those who want to do further reading on oesteogenesis imperfecta. this was the diagnostics of todays MB1031. i found todays tutorial very interesting as one single amino acid change such as glycine being replaced by cysteine can cause such damage

Yeah I enjoyed the diagnostics involved in yesterdays #MB1031 tutorial. Unfortunately it's a disease more common than I thought and it's scary that you can still have severe phenotypic defects if you're a heterozygote.
- Matthew Helliwell
I still want to know if homozygous recessive individuals with the collagen defect would make it to term. I can't imagine that they would.

Also Colour blindness is most commonly inherited and is a condition in which a person cannot distinguish certain colours such as red and green (deuteranopia) or yellow and blue (tritanopia).

this web site has a nice table which tells you which part of the kidney does what and also a recap of Dr Vial lectures. the first diagram is confusing but the other are neat and easy to understand. overall a good website for revision=)

this new article is about convicting a criminal thanks to a dogs DNA. it has been the first case that has used a dog to identify the killer. this article is very interesting to read but at the same time horrific. the whole concept of matching DNA with individual started in leicester thanks to alex Jeffery's. we discussed DNA in all our modules so this is one of the ways in which DNA has helped society
- Pratik Jethwa
Hey I also read this! personally I think that it's amazing that we have the insight and technology to be able to do this. A few decades ago we wouldn't have thought about using a dogs DNA in a court case, but if it can be actively used against scum that think it's okay to stab a citizen to death after using his dog as a weapon, then I am all for it.
- Matthew Helliwell
I saw that story recently. It seems that the dog's DNA was able to be used because the attacker accidentally stabbed his own dog during the attack.
- Tom Hutchinson
in todays #MB1005 was really funny i really enjoyed his jokes and especially his tone of voice. i liked the fact that he talked in a pace that allowed us to take down the notes. the only thing i did not like was he kept walking side to side as it made it hard to focus.
I agree, he altered the volume of his voice which made me wake up if I was drifting off to sleep!

It was a "interesting" (not sure if this is the right word to use in this context) to find out that some people still have such highly stereotypical and judgemental views about the society.

Poster presentation was very nerve racking but I guess as a team we all made it through well done mx8!!
This website is related to genes an medcine. It particularly lays the fondations down for the poster prsentation on cystic fibrosis. I hope this helps... lads

I found dr grubbs lectures intresting and well paced and really likes the fact he hilighted the fundamental principals of the lecture. Ok now feeling hungry gona get some grubb lol
I was just looking over yesterdays lecture, I'm rather confused. I'm finding the handouts he gave us to be overly complicated. And he still hasnt put up the lecture slides, I'm not terribly impressed right now :(
- Ashley
yes I thought yesterdays lecture was quite interesting as well and Ash you weren't feeling very well yesterday maybe thats way, I've got a couple of physiology books if you like to borrow to go over things XxX
- paris rafeian
the 1st lecture was better than the one we had today...todays lecture was really fast paced and i understood the previous one more
- Yasmin Ghodawala
I'v enjoyed his lectures. I find I am able to pay attention to the morning lectures when the lecturer moves at a quicker pace. It is good too that Dr. Grubb really puts an emphasis on us knowing the important points of his lecture so we know what to expect on the final exam.
- Ashton Chugh
This site is related to physiology #mb1006 and found his site to be useful as it explained how the termonolgy is used in relation to function. It was easy to undrstand and reenforcememt of the knowledge can only be gud as it's gud revision:)

this video talks about what the physioology lecturer was trying to show. it sums up the channel that uses a combination of ions to pass in and out the cell.

I really liked the way Dr Grubb summerised action potentials in the #BS1006 lecture. I think he uses diagrams and images in a very effective way that related directly to what he is talking about as well as making it easier to remember and understand! Plus it breaks up long slides full of text!
- Chandni Sthanakiya
this website clarified all the different potential that lectures use interchangeable stated and also it difines some the crucial channels we have been talking about in membranes and receptors well as physiology. i hope it helps you

this is a useful source of knowledge for the mini pilll for those who are doing a poster presentation on contraceptions. Also its a trust worthy site as it from nhs=)

i came across this website that relates to genetics and BS1011. this tells you step by step how to work it out. also it the examples further down are genetic related
- Pratik Jethwa
from Bookmarklet
This is really helpful! I finished the #bs1011 assessment for this week yesterday but its good to have this site in hand as im sure we'll be doing more calculations using chi-squared next year :)
- Maria Regina Famador
as i was preparing for my poster presentation i came across this site that will help me write my introduction and set the seen for oral contraceptions
- Pratik Jethwa
from Bookmarklet
i am currently researching infomation for MB1031. i will be doing a poster prsentation on how oral contraception reduce the rate of conception. i came across a good image showing the releases of an egg happening in real time. this image are benifical in understanding the mechanism in the human menstrual cycle

The website is really useful it outline the the stages of meiosis and it has useful diagrams.
- Jalal Freedom
Thats a a good website it really explains meiosis very well. Its very helpful when doing the plan for the #MB1031 essay.

Dr Cann has asked me to write down what i think of friends feed? personally i think its a good way of interacting with friends and its like a mini google. what i mean by this is that we can use this as a source for information and its garanteed to be related to our course. what makes it more efficent is that the hash key allows us to organize what
we want to look up. overall its very useful for student to communicate thier likes and dislikes well as using it for a topic that you may not understand.
- Pratik Jethwa
today #MB1005 was intresting and prof ketley was funny but i dont think he would have given the pound to anyone even if you answered it correctly. i found it hard to keep up with him what about you, my fellow collegues?
I like how animated he was, he was really trying to keep us awake and interested. I didn't find him so hard to follow but then I did go through the lecture slides beforehand which might have helped. He did talk quite fast, so maybe that's why you had trouble keeping up with him?
- laura miller
Me too! He made the lectures really interesting and easy to understand.
- Hollie Smith
I really liked his jokes and thought that he explained things in a very detailed yet easy to understand way. I also found that his lecture notes were helpful to understand and you can get your head round the complicated bits with the aid of a text book. I guess we will still see him in the lab. Has anyone finished the lab report? It is really interesting to see how genes are inherited and expressed although the report does get you thinking quite hard!
- Chandni Sthanakiya
i find the inheritance part of enetics really intersting too. I was reading the Genetics textbook the other day and found out that if you are hetrozygous for cystic fibrosis you are not affected by diarheal infections, men can inherit baldness from either parent and it can be passed from father to son. And siamese cats only have dark tails, ears, paws and noses because the gene that expresses the colour is temperature sensitive and is only expressed on the cool extremities of the body......

todays practical for microbiology went well and thats because we have a great peer mentor (FATTAH) who is really knows his stuff. good teacher as well. i guess because of him microbiology practicals are more enjoyable. i am looking forward to next weeks practical because i want to know if my partner knows how to wash his hands
i have just finished the excel work for #bs1011 and thanks to safiyahs and gagandeeps confo on friends feed it made life easier. thanks safiyah once again and your a genius in the making !!
