Hi everyone. I can't believe you want to read some of the trash I wrote to fake my way through college. This paper isn't bad though. It may be a little stuffy, but I did my best to make the whole prion thing make sense.
When I wrote this, the mad cow scare was just starting to wrap up in Britain. Very few people had heard of prions, and it was considered an emerging science. Fortunately for me, Dr. Stanley Prusiner is a scientist who writes as plainly as possible instead of being an over-educated professor who gauges his self-worth by how many consonants his sentences hold. (Don't count the ones in that last sentence.)
I am leaving this paper in its original format, although I may correct the typos I avoided seeing in the final draft. Please note - this was extensive research and it took me a long time to compile this paper. Please remember not to plagarize (steal) this work. Otherwise, learning is free. Enjoy.
