It was titled 'Gene Safari' and was about all the different web based bioinformatics resources ( UCSC, NCBI, etc)<br /><br />I tried to motivate the lecture by showing them resources to learn more about FOXP2 as an example.<br />These were undergrads and think most of them were either half asleep (a 9am class) or surfing the internet on their laptops. The whole experience was underwhelming because I didn't know if they were bored by my lecture, or just weren't into it.Amithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17374419504359860299noreply@blogger.com
