An Introduction

Hello there!

Here's a bit of an introduction to get this blog rolling.  I'll be posting mainly about new, fun and interesting science, but I'll also be including personal observations and daily happenings to keep things entertaining.

One of my main passions is eating healthy, and the effects of certain foods on the body.  I do a lot of research into WHY and HOW certain foods act on the body, and a lot of this information is immediately useful.  For example, did you know that cinnamon can actually help your body burn calories faster?  The scientific reasons behind this, and other food-related science, are things I hope to explore and share with you. 

I also have a strong interest in biology, and nature in general.  Aside from interesting science in the news, I also hope to share with you some of the personal experiences I've had working in the field of biology.  I also have a passion for keeping and breeding reptiles and amphibians (and, on occasion, insects), so you'll hear about the adventures of living in a house full of snakes, and the science behind why they do the things they do.

One of the things I do regularly is educational shows, and I'll never pass up an opportunity to show someone something they've never seen before.  A lot of people have never  had a chance to interact with snakes, or even see one close up.  If you're around the Kamloops area, and have any interest whatsoever in taking a look at the snakes we have here sometime, feel free to drop me an email.  My address is T.E.Rehbein@gmail.com


All the best;
