Genetics

Genetics is one of the staple classes offered on West campus every year. It covers the human genome, gene therapy, occasional ethics, and labs concerning DNA. A highly recommended course if considering the West Campus as a third or fourth year.

Term II

This Genetics class was considered by many to be one of the best classes that term. Superior not only in course material, but also in its teacher, TA, students, and class bonding. The class's two most important inside jokes, "We Won!" and "Velociraptors!" were screamed (at appropriate times) during the talent show. The class was also known to have the best class T-shirts and sat together almost every day at lunch.

@Deanthe DNA strand "This is a part of me"

"I like to imagine the body as an autocratic communist regime. The normal cell is told 'For the glory of Mother Body, you must die.' The the cell says, 'Da, I would gladly die for Mother Body.' Then it takes its wakizashi and cuts its stomach open and spills its guts. A cancer cell, on the other hand, is told "For the glory of Mother Body, you must die.' The cancer cell says 'Screw this, I'm moving to America!'"
