Disease Detectives- I don't know why this event is so great in my mind because everyone else seems to hate it but I really love it. Maybe I just love step-by-step processes. Or maybe it satisfies my inner detective.

Ecology because it's a really awesome and interesting event, and because I've worked on it so much it's become personally important to me. Rocks is a close second, but the event focuses so much on identification that you don't learn that much about rocks as a general subject as opposed to each individual kind of rock or mineral.

Probably Fermi. It's really interesting memorizing random facts that have no application in life for some reason. Matsci and invasive (rip invasive) are close, and at one point I did enjoy microbe but never did well in it

It might be the opposite purpose of this thread but I would like to see if anyone likes Protein Modeling(ugh the bain of my existence :roll: ) seeing how it returns next year.

I thoroughly enjoyed all my events, but I miss invasive a lot. My partner and I had so much fun making weird but fitting names for all of the specimens and the event was interesting in general.

I can't really explain why, but I've just taken a deep interest in Disease Detectives and Microbe Mission.
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.
