Tiny satellite tracking tags allowed scientists from the British Trust for Ornithology to track five cuckoos on their 5,000 km migration to Africa. Birds, technology, and science together are simply fascinating. One cuckoo is lagging slightly behind the rest and has made it as far as Morocco.
list-servs, newsgroups, photo-sharing… Oh and better concentrate in science classes as you also need to be a part-time scientist cum biologist with a complete grasp of the concepts of both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA Analysis and just in case why not tag on a short course in stable isotope analysis?
