Thanksgiving Molecular Biology & CRISPR Crash-course!

Starts

Over the few days of Thanksgiving, we'll spend four sessions, starting from the origins of CRISPR and exploring all the way to the mechanisms/applications of CRISPR technologies, as well as mutagenesis and different PCRs. The later sessions would include some pretty advanced and cool stuff, so be sure to buckle up!

Exploring Our Microbiological World

Starts

Hi there! This series is going to be all about one of my favorite topics (and current major), microbiology! Each session, we'll be doing a deep dive into a new microorganism and it's biology: what kind of microorganism it is, where it exists, its role in its habitat, and even how it interacts with us.


These are just meant to be fun, exploratory sessions, not a series on general microbiology, so no past knowledge is really needed. I can answer any general biology questions if they come up (in context with the microorganism, of course), but the main focus will be on whatever microscopic creature we're exploring during a given session!


If you like microbiology, learning about new species, or just learning about the things we don't get to see much in our everyday lives, then this series is for you!


Hope to see you there!


(Note also that this is a re-run of a series I've done a couple times now, so if this looks familiar to you, you may have seen it before.)

Where did CRISPR come from? How does gene editing work? In this course, start from the origins of CRISPR-Cas systems and explore all the way to molecular cloning & mechanisms/applications of CRISPR technologies! The later sessions would include some pretty advanced and cool stuff, so be sure to buckle up!

Biology Crash Course

12th session

Get ahead of everyone else in your honors/on level biology class. This course reviews a little bit of 8th grade biology and covers the entirely of 9th grade biology, getting you ready for any future biology class that you are willing to take!

Biology Olympiad Prep

19th session

⁹Are you preparing for the Biology Olympiad, or just want to dive deeper into biology? In this series, we’ll work through key topics covered in the USABO open exam, including cell biology, genetics, physiology, ecology, and more. Each session will focus on 1–2 chapters/concepts, with practice questions and discussion to strengthen understanding.

This series is great if you:
- Want structured preparation for the Biology Olympiad.
- Enjoy learning advanced biology topics beyond the classroom.
- Like reviewing with examples, problem-solving, and explanations.

We’ll go step by step through the material and build a strong foundation for competition success. No prior Olympiad experience required—just curiosity and dedication!

Note: This series will be lasting into January to cover as much material before the Open Exam.
