Hello Science 200 friends.  My name is Adam McCullough and I am a freshman from Aurora, Ohio.  I am attending Penn State for multiple reasons, however the most prominent is that both of my parents are alumni and they forced me to.  It also helps that Penn State has many outstanding academic programs, including the program I reside in (division of undergraduate studies), but I plan on going into Smeal.  I am taking this course because the idea of discussing controversial topics sounds intriguing to me.  Lastly, I am not perusing a career in Science because I despise tedious, menial labs.
