 After reading the Denning articles and the Janovy chapter, answer the following questions:
 What did you find most interesting or provocative about the Janovy reading?
 What does it mean to be a biologist? Do you consider yourself a biologist? Why or why not?
 After reading, the two authors left me with mixed thoughts on both biology and computer science. However, with this mixing came an important realization that these fields aren't as rigid and defined as I had originally thought. Study of either of these areas isn't strictly defined by the classroom in the sense that there are endless opportunities outside of lecture halls however best professors attempt to prepare us with the most relevant information. Both of these authors loosened my rigid thoughts and hopefully this flexibility and openness will be applicable throughout the course. In our daily lives, I think communication is easiest to apply because of our human ability to communicate to other humans both verbally and through nonverbal expressions. What's most interesting is that we have learned these communication skills naturally through time. For example, if someone frowned and clenched their fists, you would interpret this as someone expressing anger and therefore communicating nonverbally through body language. At a young age we understand basic language without significant formal teaching. Communication, in these two senses, interests me the most compared to the other six principles.

 ==Before Reading the Denning articles==
-When you hear the term computer science, what comes to mind?
+When I hear the term computer science, I think mostly of coding programs for endless possible reasons and how to design processes for computers to complete towards a certain end. When older relatives or friends hear the term computer science, my best guess would be they would be thinking of the study of how computers work. I would guess more so in the physical sense and less in the world of networks and programming. I think my friends would have similar thoughts come to mind in terms of networks, the internet, and programming/coding come to mind when they think of computer science because we grew up with computers in our households.
 ==Before Reading the Janovy chapter==
-When you hear the term biology, what comes to mind?
+When I think about biology, the study of life and intricate biological systems comes to mind. Life overall represents the beautiful product that is made by the intricate and time-tested biological systems. By biological systems, I hope to encompass the aspect of biology that takes apart the larger picture of what it means for something to be a living organism. Just as importantly, Charles Darwin definitely comes into mind when thinking about biology. With all honesty, I wouldn't consider myself a biologist. I would more so consider myself an aspiring biologist in the sense that I would hope to one day be able to take part in or contribute research within the biology field.
