>Hello,
>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,
>  Chris

>p.s.- I'd be happy to forward/post any similar

>OEB 100 : Evolution in Action
>Harvard College/GSAS: 9930
>Spring 2008-2009
>Christopher Marx
>Location: Lab on 5th floor of Biolabs (available 24/7)
>Meeting Time: Mondays 3:30-5:30 (First class on 2/2)
><http://isites.harvard.edu/k41841>http://isites.harvard.edu/k41841
>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.
>Prereq: LPSa/LS1a & LS1b or equivalent. Email 
>instructor with any questions 
>(<mailto:cmarx at oeb.harvard.edu>cmarx at oeb.harvard.edu).
