Research Project: Take 2

So after much detailed research on telomeres, and a little bit of sketching of my diagram, my project did not take off like I had hoped, but instead, sort of did the opposite and came to a rearing stop. I could only go so far in diagraming the processes associated with telomeres, because although it is pretty obvious that telomeres are simply a structure, somehow I thought it was possible to diagram its mechanism. There was some cause-and-effect associated with telomeres, but not much, and as my research progressed, my project idea transformed to the process of aging. So far my two main ideas are telomeres and mitochondria. I'm going to work on mapping out those two processes, and look into more research as it's necessary. Here goes nothing at 2:40 am...
