Thankyou all; I’d like to take the time here in my final slide for this

biology presentation to thank everyone in the class for making this year pretty-damn awesome.

I’d especially like to thank Kimberly for orchestrating such a lovely biology class. Thanks for the opportunity and fun @ everyone.
