<blockquote type="cite" cite>Hello,</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>How are you? I'd like to
advertise my new project-based course: "Evolution in Action" (OEB
100). Should you know any interested undergraduate students in
your group (or perhaps even grad students) it would be great if you
could pass this email on to themŠ Also, attached is the flyer
should you happen to feel like posting it in your local surroundings.
Thanks so much. Cheers,</blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>Location: Lab on 5th floor of Biolabs
(available 24/7)</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Meeting Time: Mondays 3:30-5:30 (First
class on 2/2)</blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>In this project-based laboratory course
students will conduct research utilizing experimental evolution of
microbial populations. Groups of 3-4 students (16 students max in the
course) will research questions that synthesize knowledge of genetics,
biochemistry, systems biology, microbiology, evolution and ecology.
Besides the weekly meeting, the lab will be open and available at all
times. Student projects will include the opportunities such as: the
use of a high-throughput, robotic system to evolve and monitor
populations, whole genome re-sequencing to determine the genetic basis
of adaptation, molecular genetics to generate strains bearing various
alleles (or combinations), biochemical analysis of mutational effects
to enzymes, analytical determination of metabolic network usage,
microarray analysis of mRNA levels, and mathematical modeling to
assess questions of optimality.</blockquote>
