We will learn to use Math for Biology in one of the following three labs:
Invasive species lab: (or battlefield) They pit plants against
each other in little pots/arenas.
Nerve Lab 1: They zap neurons from the inside with tiny glass
electrodes then watch how they react. I took the picture of the
nerve at that lab, it is really cool so ask me about it.
Nerve Lab 2: They investigate how certain chemicals effect
programmed death in certain neurons. They use electrophoresis, the
same technique they use for certain DNA analysis.
More words coming when I get a chance . . .
Getting Accepted:
They weren't planning to accept freshman, and I had taken none of the
suggested courses . . . but they read my recommendation, looked at this
website, then I showed them a bit of offline math I've done. Now I
am one of the 6 students in the program. They never asked for my
Transcript, SAT score, or even my GPA!
I would like to thank
Prof. Moore for writing
me the
recommendation
