Abstract
Greetings! I began my first Mammalian Physiology lecture period at Eastern Mennonite University on January 10, 2000, by welcoming my students to a new millennium (a slight misnomer), a new century, a new decade, a new year, a new semester, a new month, a new week, and a new day for a new biology course! With all of this newness floating around heightened by the changing of the calendar, it motivates me to consider where I am going and how I am walking both personally and professionally.
