Organization
There are basically four parts of boot camp:
- DNA Science - learning how to manipulate DNA
- Size of things - learning the various spatial scales in biology
- Rate of things - learning the various temporal scales in biology
- Project - a small project, working with a graduate student or visitor
Size of things
In the "size of things" section of the boot camp, we learned how to use microscopes to take (calibrated) measurements of various cells.
