In which Jon prattles on about a Biology class that had a really positive impact on both his academic and social careers.
...Recollections on the Rooftop
In a very... umm... diverse?... episode, we again convene on the rooftop while Doug participates in an ham radio group check-in. While he set ups, we chat about our academic performance, helicopters arriving at the UNC hospital rooftop, and mentors that we've had in our lives.
