About
Hello there! In this series, we will discuss different topics related to gene expression, heredity, and natural selection. We will use Khan Academy activities and practice problems to cement our learning. We will also learn about some historical (mis)conceptions of these topics. Please come ready to discuss topics with other learners!

I am a homeschooler in 12th grade. I took the SAT a couple years ago so that I could enroll in the local Junior College as a dual enrollment student. Now I am studying organic chemistry and human anatomy and physiology! I am a second-degree black belt in karate, and I play piano. I have two dogs, a bird, and a cat.
