I wonder if I am speaking to an AI-generated creation, since you do not reveal your name. Well, Alexa or Siri,

Oh boy, this sure went south in a hurry.

It seems to me that there are at least two ways to fulfill one’s “fascination” with scientific subjects:

1. They can become scientifically literate enough to answer questions on an exam about the subject.
2. They can focus on the process of science to understand how the specialist of a subject obtained the reported facts and came to the reported conclusions.

The first way leads to an accumulation of factoids. The second way leads to an understanding of science.

I would hope that the second way would be more appealing to a CFI member, because it provides a more solid footing for defending science. The microcirculation is where most of the business of the blood is conducted. It is where nutrients and oxygen are delivered to cells of the surrounding tissue, and chemical waste is picked up. It is also where chemicals and cells that communicate with other tissues of the body are picked up and delivered. My interest was the way microcirculation responds to bone implants and other causes of wounds.

Cool, and I’ll bet incredible things have been discovered in the past decade or two, that were unimagined previously. Be fun to hear about from someone who actually knows first hand what they’re talking about.
Although I kind of know how to use Google, (thought it seems to be getting sloppier and prompting all sort of garbage not remotely connected to my query) but I’m sure I can trawl up some interesting stories - though I’ll bet, you could do a splendid end run around the frustrating google search, with a little citation dropping, nah, not the real papers, but the predigested stuff written for public consumption, I do have a healthy respect for my limitations.

As to your veiled accusation about me:
I myself, tend to use science to better understand Earth and myself, and life better.
I like a third option, the personal method of learning as much as you can, and as I collect the building block of understanding, I try to build up a consilient coherent perspective, and am always ready for more information to add to the mindscape.

Cheers, and all the best,
