      So the lesson about irrational fears worked for you?
      Do you think Sammy understands how the viewer get to see SpongeBob's thoughts and feelings through video clips of real life?
      Or that that butterfly visited SpongeBob under water?

    Dr. Ramseys conclusion is the exact reason I got into my major (forensics) in the first place. I saw these portrayals on tv and was curious about the legitimacy of it and did my own research. When I started to learn the facts I found I was genuinely interested in it to a point where I wanted to make it my career.

    I have some highly technical skills I use on a regular basis with those who don't, and consider myself ok at communicating. Watching Professor Ramsey is inspiring.

    I particularly appreciated the distinction between parasites who want to keep their hosts alive, and parasitoids that don't. I knew about some of the parasitic wasps and such, but I had no idea of the different terminology between them and true parasites. Fleas, for instance, would be parasites, I assume.

    I remember back in grammar school years, my sugar cube building project was the only one to not get "attacked" by ants.. Because I knew that ants won't cross cinnamon so I lined the outer border with it.. Ended up earning bonus points for that after explaining to the teacher why I used cinnamon, that being because to ants there are volatile compounds in cinnamon that will repel or kill them if they try crossing it..
