About

We'll get to learn what happens between that weird tiny strand of dna encoded information, and all the proteins that create us and our structure, essentially what makes us who we are! there are a lot of questions and topics that follow that path, and for me it is such an interesting ride. In this series, i'll be answering questions & revising topics you wish to see, and also going through the actual content, practice questions and everything. I can even take a look at what these look for ap bio, though i've never taken it before so that would be more of a together effort ;) . I want this, as much as you're comfortable with it, to be really a dialogue kind of thing. sure i'll be teaching, but i have so much to learn from you as well! so don't be afraid to speak up anytime to ask, share or answer anything. I'll add more sessions as we go, so we can adapt topics based on your learning and times based on my schedule.

Hello! I'm a high school student from Brazil who wants to study biology at university. I also like to draw and paint a lot, as well as to cook new recipes!

Schedule

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Hey i know we have busy schedules and it can feel super awkward to not make it but super hard to squeeze it in sometimes (specially with timezones!). Don't worry if you have to (or, depending on the topic, want to) miss classes, you know better than i do what you need to learn and what it takes to show up. Since this is a small class, if you get to know in advance, please tell me if you won't come so i know if anyone's coming at all.

I plan on working with celular division, mostly with how the genes are passed from one cell to the daughter cells. how does it work to replenish the cells on our body? and to make children that are unique to both of the parents?
