Reading for today/Class

I apologize for not being in class today due to a family crisis.

The reading for today was very interesting to say the least. It seemed like a very well thought out merge between fiction and scientific writing (more fiction than science). Definitely very visually stimulating with phrases like "gleaming cathedral of science" and "glass doors". I could see myself in those spaces. The use of headings was very remeniscent of a scientific paper, but the paragraphs underneath felt more like short fiction or even narrative poetry. It opened my perception to another form of writing I never seen before. Also, the way it describes a type of scientific study or test on a subject but instead of data and scientific results it is a narrative.

It was a fabulous original piece. Something I would like to experiment with later in my writings.
