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.

Rate of things

DNA Science

Project: Gene Expression
