    Hi guys, i'm about to be studying Biology, biochemistry, anatomy, physiology, microbiology and the likes, for 4 years, was wondering are there any good websites on these subjects that would have video's, documentaries, links, articles, games even that would help a person remain or build up an interest in these subjects? I basically want to ensure i feel good about what i'm studying and not have a reluctance to learn and if i enjoy what I'm learning in my spare time , knowing me i'll have more capability of paying attention in class ,really get into the subjects in college, and want to expand on what i know...I'm just that cool. :P THANKS!:)

    i like fold.it it's a puzzle game about protein structures. You have to minimise the energy of the system and make sure no amino acid side chains are interacting in an unhappy manner.

    Try TED.com too, it's a site of videos with a whole variety of topics, including biology. They're usually based on cutting edge, topical stuff, with not much emphasis on learning but more emphasis on thinking and exploring certain concepts.
