I have a PhD in molecular and cell biology, and have been widely interested in all areas of biology for many years. I HAVE NO IDEA (more or less) WHAT THIS WOMAN IS BABBLING ABOUT!
I didn't know it was possible to talk for that long without saying anything. Maybe it was just out of context, but seriously; NOTHING was really said. It was just the "filler" material that you add to an essay to bring it up to the length requirement.
material semiotics = we are shaped in relationships. Those relationships are more than just the human ones we have, but include traces of other interactions such as with viruses ... She's right, its worth considering how we are formed, shaped, evolving. Personally i preferred her other writing about how my attachments with technologies reshape me. I liked the playfulness inherent in assuming myself cyborg.
She always seems to have a lot going on in her mind, her written work often brimming with metaphor and side-trip-riffing into wordy thickets, and in oratorical form, gesticulates excessively, but this is no substitute for clear, distinct, succinct communication an audience. Unless, of course, you’re a Drosophilodist!
Holy cow. So, separate species can become embedded in our genes? I guess I need to get more knowledge. She seems to be saying that bacterias and viruses can adjust our DNA to their benefit and those changes become a permanent part of our species. I don't understand why she thinks we'll be able to walk back those changes to see what we used to be like and what changes were made.
You have to give her credit. She is trying to make a very boring subject sound interesting, but she is failling horribly and as a result, she is just making the subject more complicated and thus more boring.
She seems to be making a bit of a mouthful of her message. I also notice she checks her watch a couple of times, maybe she is trying to prolong the talk by waffling on a bit.
My nickname used to be tree-frog due to how easily I scale up trees and dance through the branches. I'm hoping you're told that for the same reason and not because when you're angry you fling poo. lol
I had to re-peat this. Alot. But what i got out of it was i wanted to impregnate her and spend 24/7 time with the child struggling to let that child know about being natural. : )
