| Introduction | A Life Scientific with Dr Jim: I write. You read. That's blog isn't it? You know, the writing...and, the reading. How hard can that be? So, this is the writing bit: I am an almost-but-not-quite-thirty year-old scientist. A Biologist by desire, a biochemist by profession. I grew up in the countryside. I am a bit of an eco-warrior. I hate stupid people, but I like to educate. But let's not over do this profile bit now....there's plenty more to read, I just haven't written it yet. But remember, the writing...and the reading bit. That's important. |

Your superpower is that you smell like dandelions whenever someone lies. How will you maintain your secret identity?
The French for Dandelion is Pisenlit (pis en lit: piss in bed), being that it's a diuretic. So my superpower is to make people wet the bed? Nuff said!
