      Grew up in Asia. Only moved to the US for undergrad… And this applies. So it’s not just the Americans methinks.

        That’s interesting

        We don’t have that where I live, sure we had to learn the organelles of a cell, but there was no über-focusing on the mitochondria.

        (Btw I didn’t know about “methinks”. Learned a new word, thanks !)

          Methinks you have to use the phrase, “methinks” more often!

    There’s this book. Sequel to Wrinkle in Time i think. Where this kid brings up the subject of mitochondria in class. Gets pummeled for it.
