Well, I may have exaggerated a little for dramatic effect, I'm currently studying to be a biologist at university. But in the last week alone that 9 hours a week working in a laboratory with bacterial colonies, learning about genetics from mutant Drosophila and dissecting fish to understand the ecological significance of their different morphological features - plus all the hours writing essays on evolution and gene sequencing and stuff - I like to hope I have a better grasp of biology than the average layperson.
