The discussion on Placebo effect was very interesting. The power of belief seems to be an effective healing tool. Both the belief of the patient and the healer are required (double blind). What is even more bizarre is the experience of side effects in placebo studies. I am curious to see how this can be used to facilitate healing in the future.

This definition puts Biochemistry at the center of all science! As far as I understand it anyway. This is saying quite a bit. It is interesting to me in the light of this definition that we only study biochemistry for five weeks at our school.
This definition of biochemistry defines the discipline in terms of other things, so really it is just speaking to its position within the hierarchy of science. The definition does not actually describe what it is.
I watched the Fire from Water animation. Although I did not understand what was happening from the video (on a chemical level) it was amazing to see water being throw into a big beaker causing flames to erupt! Very cool.
