"Time, Love, Memory"

Time, Love, Memory: A Great Biologist and His Quest for the Origins of Behavior is a non-fiction novel written by Jonathan Weiner. I am about a little more than a third way through the novel. The main point that fasinated me the most would be the ability of flies to contribute to science.  Flies are simple, small living organisms; however, they play a really significant role in our lives. The many experiments conducted in this novel were possible because of the flies.  Benzer, Morgan, and other scientists all conducted experiments with flies. 

 They described that the secret of life is the reason for scientists to conduct experiments.  As they conducted them they often used files; therefore, their importance tend to surprise me most. They seemed to have acted as small, annoying pests that most people would overlook; however, they are actually significant contributors to scientific discoveries!
