When questions come up in class that are interesting, but require additional reserch, we will post them here, on the Parking Lot Wiki.

The most pressing question(s) right now are:

Why do people who are out in the sun develop darker skin to protect themselves? I thought that dark colors absorbed heat.  How do suntans work???  Why do people get sunburns? Is it because we've moved to places we're not supposed to be (biologically speaking)?

Feel free to check the Questions Posed section on this page to look for research opportunities if you ever find yourself wanting to increase your class participation grade. Email me what you find, and then if I approve, go ahead and update the parking lot by moving the question (and your well-researched answer) to the Questions Answered section.

We'll organize the questions into sub-topics as we go, but for now the two big categories will be:

Questions Posed

and

Questions Answered
