Denning Pre-Questions

2. I'm not sure, likely the same thing that comes to mind for me but a little more mystery behind it.
3. I think they think of it as making computers, but I am not sure.

Janovy Pre-Questions

1. When I hear biology, I think of the study of life at all levels from ecosystems down to genetics.
2. I do not consider myself purely biologist even though it is the topic of my study. It seems too limited as a lot of my interests are philosophical or psychological although I do use parsimony and evolutionary theory as the governing paradigms in my thought process.
