Biology Class

Hi folks,

I'm planning on holding class today but just wanted to check in to see if most folks can make it. I know quite a few folks may still have some icy drive ways. Please let me know when you get a chance whether you can make it to class or not.

Just for fun.


2/13 Bio update and homework due 2/20

Hi folks,

This week we took some time to have a bit of a debate/talk about human evolution and the idea of designer genes. It was a pretty fascinating conversation. We also took a slightly more detailed look at taxonomy and we will do a bit more of that next week as well.

For homework this week I'm going to offer up another extra credit assignment. 10 points of extra credit for anyone who creates a fun creative way to illustrate DNA transcription to translation. It could be a kids book, a song, a claymation film, whatever you want to do. If you want to do this as partners, both partners can get 10 points extra credit. This isn't necessarily due next week but those 10 points are waiting for you if you want them. :)
