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!

Hi! My name is Claire. I just graduated high school, and I have taken many college classes such as Physics with Calculus, Organic Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, and Statistics. I am hoping to go to law school in a few years to study election law or Constitutional law. My other interests are public health, politics, piano, martial arts, and advanced mathematics!
