2003-02-16 [Lomi12]: I could probably help to teach Biology....

2003-03-14 [Future Dictator]: i think you should teach some taxonomy :)

2003-03-14 [Aristotle]: Anatomy! Anatomy!

2003-03-14 [Veltzeh]: Anatomy in an artistic way? Taxonomy in what fashion?

2003-03-15 [Future Dictator]: taxonomy as in, tell all the kingdoms and phylums, and important classes.....and why do field mice and house mice have diffrent genus things (yeah stupid question)

2003-03-15 [Veltzeh]: ok, I can do that, as soon as I have time to write more.

2003-03-15 [Lavilia]: I like all kinds of help

2003-03-19 [Angel Dreamer]: i can do anatomy and physiology, if any volunteers are needed, just tell me

2003-03-24 [FAE]: maybe the history of earth.. how life suddenly appeared..

2003-03-25 [Lavilia]: that's evolution right?

2003-05-28 [Augury]: Dragon or something Biology would ROCK!

2003-07-05 [Amba]: Life didn't suddenly appear, it took a while. And evolution is the modification of the genetic code over time. Everything else is just implications, not evolution itself.  I could help teach. :D Tis my major.

2003-12-19 [Urizen]: okay! question! is anyone well versed in genetics? cause i'm having a little problem with understanding the stepts to DNA replication

2003-12-19 [Lavilia]: ow but that is quite simple

2003-12-19 [Urizen]: OH really!? i get it all mixed up! okay... i'll go over it one more time.. then i'll ask questions

2003-12-20 [Lavilia]: okay I am ready

2004-03-06 [libero]: I have a Bio 20 question can anyone help?

2004-03-06 [libero]: The question asks... using a capillary exhange model, explain why the intake of salt is regualted for patients who suffer from high blood pressure.(Hint: The salt is absorbed from the digestive system into the blood)

2004-03-08 [Lavilia]: First Thing that I want to point out that there isn't made a real connection between salt and the hight of bloodpressure. In most cases patient who suffer from high bloodpressure are given a whole diet, and on the moment the nonsalt diets aren't used alone anymore.

2004-04-21 [Sir. Robert]: These are great! Do you need any help?

2004-04-24 [Lavilia]: I can always use help If you have English information about any biology subject you can mssge me, that would be great

2004-05-08 [RavenTalon]: I can help you guys teach about animals!

2004-05-08 [RavenTalon]: I'm helping!!look in ecology!I'

2004-05-08 [RavenTalon]: I have gotton permission too!I'm teaching about arachnids at the moment!

2004-05-08 [Lavilia]: I'll add you in the teachers list

2004-05-13 [Sir. Robert]: Do you need any help with any certain topic....I like to work....I just did my college prep bio class I dont really need to be a teacher...I'll just help

2004-05-13 [Lavilia]: It's okay. Just gather info and add it to the page it belongs to

2004-05-20 [Miyanna]: Hey- why not put in some crap about Lipids, amino acids, dehidration synthesis, etc. (I just failed a test on that)

2004-05-21 [someelf]: heya

2004-05-21 [someelf]: i am not good in biology it sounds kool, i wanna sign in...!

2004-05-23 [Lavilia]: Just add your name under the student list

2004-05-25 [someelf]: where stands that?

2004-05-25 [Lavilia]: you can sign up under the paragraph where I ask you to sign up

2004-05-26 [someelf]: okay

2004-07-07 [Macek]: Can I help out with anything? I ´m a biology graduate student so maybe I can do something =)

2004-07-24 [Lavilia]: sure, just add usefull things, I'll be a medicins student soon so I'll have fewer time to work on this

2004-07-25 [iXi]: I have a question about the immune system. If a person is in the third stage of cancer and is taking kemo therapy drugs how long will it take afterwards for the immune system to be in full effect again?

2004-08-03 [Lavilia]: Uhm, that is a hard question, Not really part of Biology actually, more a doctor thing.I'll look around for a medical student who knows okay?

2004-08-03 [Firenze]: try Elftown Meds

2004-08-04 [Lavilia]: I already put it down there, but thanks anyway :p

2004-08-22 [Firenze]: thats ok

2004-09-05 [Macek]: Hm... how about classes for zoology and botanics? And for taxonomy as well... I guess if I find some time I could try to help with these =)

2004-09-11 [Lavilia]: yeah that would be great, since I am doing most of stuff with the human body

2004-09-12 [Sunrose]: Teachers please visit ETA Departmental Staff and check up your status! The professor is asked to keep in check of own teachers, so make sure they also report to you: if they don't you have the power yourself to fire your teachers, change their status and hire replacement ([font] can't do everything, so please help him out!) ^^

2004-09-28 [font]: Please add a link back to the academy home page

2004-09-29 [Lavilia]: in here?

2004-09-29 [Lavilia]: Hmm, can anybody tell me how, I have known, but I am kinda lost now

2004-10-11 [sombra]: I'll visit here from timt to time. 

2004-10-11 [Lavilia]: Okay, it will be nice to see you here

2004-11-03 [gsfgshnb vbxbxv]: i think Genetics are a good topic. will you put something about them on here?

2004-11-03 [Lavilia]: Jup, had it on college not too long ago, as soon as I have time I'll be working on that

2004-11-04 [gsfgshnb vbxbxv]: ok, thanks!!

2004-11-04 [Saffron]: I'm interested in anatomy - kinda, if you teach about muscles and stuff it could help with drawing, too ^^ oh, also interested in evolution theory

2004-11-05 [Lavilia]: evolution is not so much my subject, My anatomy classes start in Februari, but if you want to know how muscles look like and stuff, I can do that any time

2004-12-02 [Sunrose]: Attention Elftown Academy Professors and Teachers! All departments have now received an official banner. Departments not following the Uploading Art Rules by friday will have the banner removed again! The banners are NOT to be used on classrooms!!

2004-12-02 [Lavilia]: eye anotomy is now online

2004-12-15 [HowseR]: [HowseR] let me be the professor of biology

2004-12-15 [Sunrose]: [HowseR]: why? have you done Anything here??

2004-12-16 [Lavilia]: I have done a lot down here and with me a lot of other teachers have. I don't think you can jump in here and be a professor. I prefer a professor who actually does something here. And for your information, I already signed two people up for the job, who actually do something here.

2004-12-20 [Lavilia]: Information about veins arteries and capillaries at the human anotomy page

2004-12-20 [Lavilia]: Okay I put even more up. Please check it all out and ask questions, I'll try to answer, that's what I am for right?

2004-12-30 [Rennie]: umm, I don't specifically know y'all, but I do, however know that I know a heck of a lot about biology and that i can help some people...I have some papers and research items that I plan to transpose to this page as soon as I can get my hands on them...specifically about biochem/genetics/celullar development/anatomy/systems...cool? my name is Erin btw :)

2004-12-30 [Rennie]: whoever is working on the DNA wiki...perhaps you can get into specific DNA structure...? and some more in depth descriptions of the counterparts of DNA?

2004-12-30 [Lavilia]: I am DNA working, though I was focusing on anatomy for I know more about that. I do have very good Genetics notes, but I haven't put them in here, I can't do everything at once. You are free to add all usefull stuff you have. I am also the one who coordinates stuff down here. I am glad we have a professor now who actually does something. The last one I had never seen

2004-12-30 [Rennie]: *laughs* I just have to find all my stuff...just moved a little while ago...:P

2004-12-30 [Lavilia]: I know that, it's a mess. Good way to clean up btw, lose all the useless stuff

2005-01-06 [Orgasmo]: hiya, im interested in applying for a job as a biology teacher...

2005-01-06 [Lavilia]: what do you want to teach?

2005-01-07 [Orgasmo]: i can do, cell biology, human biology, pharmacognosy, genetics... list goes on!

2005-01-07 [Lavilia]: Message Erinbabe, if she agrees I'll add you to the teachers list

2005-01-07 [Orgasmo]: fair enough...

2005-01-07 [Orgasmo]: I got the thumbs up from [Rennie]!

2005-01-08 [Rennie]: yupper doodles...sorry I haven't been able to post yet, its been uber hectic here :P

2005-01-08 [Lavilia]: I gave you a job, you can add your thing to the list of subjects and start your talking on a special wiki page

2005-01-09 [Orgasmo]: smashing!

2005-01-09 [Lavilia]: maybe it's not smart to work with a pasword, it's hard to ask questions

2005-01-09 [Orgasmo]: ah sure thing...

2005-01-12 [Lavilia]: I already did that a while ago

2005-01-16 [Dil*]: k, cool, everything's in order then, I'm just going to all the departments to clear things up.

2005-01-16 [Lavilia]: yeah that's just a great idea. But when I was there I already cleared things up

2005-01-16 [Sunrose]: [Dil*] is just doing her job, not saying you did a bad job. So please take a time-out or something, no one is meaning any harm here :)

2005-01-17 [Lavilia]: Neither did I, I am sorry if I insulted anyone

2005-01-18 [Sunrose]: Okay! *pats everyone* ^^

2005-01-20 [Phoxx]: Hi Biology Crew! My name has been on the teachers list for 2 weeks, but I haven't done anything really cause I was very busy with exams! Please forgive me *puppy eyes* I'll make it up ;)

2005-01-20 [Orgasmo]: Ahhhh exams nooooooooooooo, just to let you all know that i haven't done anything either and for the same reasons! but come wednesday im gonna be so wasted that i'll probably end up solving the genome!

2005-01-24 [Lavilia]: I have an exam every three weeks but I agree, I have to do some new stuff again

2005-02-24 [Harles]: I do biochemistry .. at imperial .. going into finals soon but can help people out if they want a question answered - message me

2005-02-24 [Lavilia]: I really appreciate your help

2005-02-25 [Tears of the Dead Star]: How do I sign up for classes?

2005-02-25 [Rennie]: just stick your name on the students list and ask questions to whomever you choose on the teacher's list :)

2005-02-26 [RadiationNation.]: ummmm....could someone possibly make a class about the bones? im lost in that department!

2005-02-26 [Rennie]: what about the bones? construction or composition?

2005-02-28 [Lavilia]: I am working on that. Do you want to know all the names of them?

2005-03-03 [~*~Dread Pirate Bonnie~*~]: hey every1 im the newest teacher!!!

2005-03-07 [aurodi]: hii..how are you ? =)

2005-03-14 [~*~Dread Pirate Bonnie~*~]: im pretty good i wont be able to help for like a couple more days because i have to get my book back from a friend so... ya

2005-04-10 [Lavilia]: welcome to this class punky

2005-04-17 [Dr.Tony]: what are complex cells?

2005-04-17 [Lavilia]: just tell me what you want to know

2005-05-24 [someelf]: I think I need this class too. Since I got a exam next week about Biology, and then I am realy not good in it. :S Who can help me?

2005-05-24 [Lavilia]: we can, just tell us what you need info on

2005-05-26 [someelf]: About the human body, umm and plants. I think.. >.>.<.<

2005-05-27 [Orgasmo]: :D finally sum who needs pharmacognostic help!

2005-05-27 [someelf]: O.O Pharmacognostic? o.o Wth? o.o *dies of the long word o__________o*

2005-05-27 [Lavilia]: Human body stuff is already there (some,) if you need some specific help just ask, I'm sure I can help. Plants is not my thing, but there are other who can explain

2005-05-27 [Orgasmo]: pharmacognosy is the study of medicinal plants, but i also do botony

2005-05-27 [someelf]: Interesant, I got it in one week, next thursday, I try to do my best, to learn out of the books I got, but it's hard, since the teacher I had barley gave biology, she always did go out of the class, or was sick. >.<'

2005-05-27 [someelf]: Also The Cell is a study I have to learn.

2005-05-28 [Lavilia]: that is not my subject, send a message or something to the teacher who gives that piece of Biology, or [Rennie] she knows everything

2005-05-29 [someelf]: Okej.

2005-06-12 [Dil*]: If your classroom is messy, please fix it with classroom template - [ elftown academy crew ]

2005-06-13 [Lavilia]: I don't think it's messy

2005-06-13 [Phoxx]: I think it's just advise they give in every classroom :) (ours is indeed very tidy if I may say so :P)

2005-06-14 [Lavilia]: oh my fault, I didn't see the if...

2005-06-14 [Phoxx]: haha don't worry

2005-06-20 [WolfBrethren]: I NEED STUDENTS!!!

2005-06-20 [Lavilia]: the students here, are the students of biology, so also your students hun

2005-06-22 [Dangerous_Babe]: how do u sign up

2005-06-23 [WolfBrethren]: just ad your name to the students list

2005-11-10 [deus-ex-machina]: Can we edit one another's pages? Or do we wait for them to complete it?

2005-11-10 [Rennie]: Ask the specific person that created the page, and then feel free if they say it's okay. :)

2005-11-11 [deus-ex-machina]: Awesome. Just wondering, in case.

2006-01-07 [Amras Oronra]: Is there someone that has done any study around Fear? I love to hear if so!!!

2006-01-07 [Phoxx]: What exactly do you want to know? The psychiatry-course (lessons not therapy :P) I'm taking now has given me some insights...

2006-01-07 [Orgasmo]: i've studied human psychology. And have written a paper on phobia. If i can be of help?

2006-01-07 [Lavilia]: I think it's useful, at least for me, since I study medicins

2006-01-07 [Orgasmo]: yeh i'm doing pharmacy and it comes in handy

2006-01-13 [Amras Oronra]: Well What i Like to know are the both sides of fear:the psychiatry and biology aspects... it is for a study I have to make for school.

2006-01-13 [Orgasmo]: There is a lot to mention but some points @Fight and flight mechanism of the central nervous system @ Neurotransmitter releases @Predator/Prey instinct @ Evolution and Genetic Theories @ Drug induced braveness and hypnotherapy @Environmental Condidtioning. Just to name a few. However the Psycholocial side tends to explain why as the biological explains how

2006-01-16 [Amras Oronra]: Presisely, but you can look at the other side like that a fear Disorder is most of all a Psycholocial problem and has nothing to do with the biological side... so there is no How from the biological side

2006-01-16 [Lavilia]: No but problems with fear are learning processes, or things that go wrong in the mind. And the things that go wrong in the brain, are biological processes.

2006-01-16 [Amras Oronra]: True, but fear is also something from the brains.. here where I live(Holland) was not long ago a article in the paper about: that they had removed something out of the brains of a mouse and that the effect was that the mouse had become completely Fearless!

2006-01-16 [Orgasmo]: hence biological, they removed the thalmus of petuitry gland to loosen stimulation by neurotransmitter

2006-01-16 [Amras Oronra]: And it looks like it worked didn't it? :P

2006-01-16 [Orgasmo]: it does, but it isn't psychological its biological.

2006-01-16 [Amras Oronra]: That is what I said :) Fear is something that can be found in both... but we don't know for sure where the connection lays and how it reacts in different situations.

2006-01-17 [Lavilia]: behaviour also belongs to biology. At highschool I also had behaviour in biology classes

2006-01-24 [Lavilia]: I added some more human anatomy, I will go on with adding things soon

2006-01-25 [Phoxx]: Fear does have psychological factors. One is afraid of spiders, the other is not. That's part of your character and thus psychological. But the effects on the body and how it works is indeed biological. I think psychological behavior is always based on a biological foundation.

2006-01-25 [Amras Oronra]: I know very much Philosophers are gone disagree with you ;) But I think it is correct: psychological behavior is always based on a biological foundation.

2006-01-25 [Amras Oronra]: No wait not true what I said... I think that psychological behavior has a concection with biological foundations but is not always based on it!

2006-01-25 [Phoxx]: Without a body your mind cannot exist. Therefor psychology cannot exist without biology. That's what I meant to say. Personality is personal, but so is the make-up of your brain, which comes from your DNA-profile. So, they are linked.

2006-01-25 [Phoxx]: (and the old philosophers didn't know as much about brains and DNA as we do nowadays :P)

2006-01-26 [Amras Oronra]: You know Phoxx if you ever have the time to travel to Utrecht, let me know I think we could have a good discussion about this and about Philosopy ;)

2006-01-26 [deus-ex-machina]: =D I study philosophy and I have to say, right now, I'm studying life after death and dualism and materialism are key areas. Does anyone believe in a soul? Sorry... LoL, I've been watching this page for a while, just thought I'd pipe up now.

2006-01-27 [Amras Oronra]: Well it depends about how'd you descripe a soul... I'm studying it too and well there are very different oppinions about what it is. let me know ;) and just a statment, I don't think this is a subject for a Biology wikipage?

2006-01-27 [Rennie]: No, it's really not. I would discuss this topic in the metaphysics forum...I think that's the link for it, if not, ask [TheRogue]. He's the professor.

2006-01-27 [deus-ex-machina]: It could be very closely tied into the conversation, but oh well. =)

2006-01-27 [Rennie]: We may discuss as we like here, but keep in mind that this is an Academy. If you are discussing for discussions sake, do it in the right forum. If you are trying to learn more, go to the right place to learn.

2006-01-27 [deus-ex-machina]: I might not be very active as of late, but I am one of the teachers here.

2006-01-29 [WolfBrethren]: *Thinking* Um... I guess its about time I get my behind back to teaching and start another topic huh? Been really busy with work for the past few months since Katrina hit. Anyone want something speciffic?

2006-01-29 [deus-ex-machina]: Ecology or virology would be useful.

2006-01-30 [WolfBrethren]: [deus-ex-machina] no, I am already a teacher of zoology, by topic i mean something related to a certain animal example: horses, lions. tigers, cheetahs, pandas etc...

2006-02-01 [Lavilia]: I think that is a bit too specific for this

2006-02-01 [Rennie]: It's fine if you really are that interested and dedicated enough to do a small classroom on whatever species you like...but it would probably be better, easier, and more informative, if you did it by animal phyla...

2006-04-27 [Dil*]: Please put the names of the teachers next to their classrooms to clear up any confusion about who's teaching the class - Board of Governors

2006-04-28 [Ashita]: when will the immunity class start??

2006-04-28 [Phoxx]: I can do immunity, it's a cool (yet quite) difficult subject. But on GCSE-level it should be OK to do. I'll start on it soon if [Rennie] agrees.

2006-04-29 [Orgasmo]: i could help, i've done a bit at degree level

2006-04-29 [Phoxx]: So have I. We can do it together, that'd be cool.

2006-04-29 [Orgasmo]: sure, i'm more medically orientated on the subject though

2006-04-29 [Phoxx]: So am I, I study medicine. But it has everything to do with disease and stuff, so that's ok.

2006-04-29 [NamelessMerc]: If you need help dumbing it down, I take Biology at A-Level and we've done a little on immunity over the past 2 years.

2006-04-30 [Lavilia]: Would everyone add his/her name to the subjects they teach please?

2007-05-24 [Shadowsoul]: would i be able to be officially listed as a teacher?

2007-05-24 [Rennie]: Yes. In fact, you are welcome to add yourself on as one.

2007-05-26 [Thunder Cid]: [Shadowsoul] may not be listed as a teacher until his/hers application has been reviewed and accpeted by the BoG. Board of Governors

2007-05-27 [Shadowsoul]: *sighs* then i'm stuffed.... Sunrose doesn't like me

2007-05-27 [Sunrose]: I don't even remember you, though if I did I would not let personal feelings interfere with being fair in doing my job.
Your application is currently being reviewed by [Thunder Cid].

2007-05-27 [Shadowsoul]: mhmm okay

2007-12-21 [Imperator]: The Surgery should be removed as it only says "The Surgery" on the page.

2007-12-21 [Phoxx]: "The Surgery" is a place where you can ask questions (I think). I'm not exactly sure if it should be a part of Biology though. Might be a little too in depth for this class.

2007-12-22 [Imperator]: Um, the idea of a classroom is to have text and information in it and then be able to ask questions.

Besides, the page says "coming soon" and no page edits have happened in a year and no questions have been asked. It needs to be removed.

2007-12-22 [Phoxx]: I think our Biology Professor [Rennie] will decide wether or not something should be removed from this class.
If you really feel this way about it, you should take it up with her.

2007-12-23 [Imperator]: Naturally, as the professor of this department, I suspect [Rennie] will return and see this conversation anyway. :-)

I've just been going through classrooms and editing them if they need it and have not been worked on in a long time. Then if I think a classroom should be removed I suggest it to [Sunrose] in the comments. Just to clarify as my previous comments seem a little sharp the second time I read them.

2007-12-23 [Phoxx]: With all respect... have you been appointed to do this?
It's admirable that you want to keep the whole academy up to date and everything, don't get me wrong on that.
But I think some teachers here could be offended if you come in and edit their classes and suggest that some should be removed (although I might agree with you on that for some of them). Most of them really know what they are talking about, some even study it at college-level. It's just that teaching takes alot of time, time I haven't had lately (and I think that goes for more of us).
I think the job you've take up is up to [Rennie] and perhaps [Sunrose] eventually.

2007-12-23 [Firenze]: [Phoxx] he is on a BOG trial at this moment in time, if you have an issue come and talk to me or [Sunrose] please and will get it sorted.

2007-12-23 [Sunrose]: I'm watching this wiki anyway.
I think cobra's suggestion about 'The Surgery' isn't offensive and it can simply be taken into consideration by the prof. No harm done :)

2008-01-09 [Imperator]: May I point out that the professor [Rennie] has been gone for over 100 days?

2008-01-09 [Sunrose]: Yes, I know :)

2008-01-09 [Imperator]: Therefore the question about The Surgery may not be resolved for a long while...
