While writing an essay on evolutionary biology...

... I had to look up the following words:

basal--pertaining to, situated at, or forming the base
pectinate--
having narrow divisions like the teeth of a comb
concatenate--to link together in a series or chain
concomitant--accompanying in a subordinate or incidental way
stochastic--randomly determined
speciose--
consisting of a number of species; (or according to the OED: Beautiful, lovely)

Verbal GRE, here I come!!

hey aimee. hope edinburgh is going good. my watson project is comparing traditional healing methods in different countries to western medicine. why people choose one over the other, why do they use both, what do they believe each kind of medicine can do? why are some countries able to integrate the two, while others are so far from doing that? blabbity blah. i will go to chile, peru, china, ghana and south africa.
