Favorite Course 20 subject and why?20.309-Instrumentation and Measurement for Biological Systems! I really liked learning about signal processing. I found Fournier transform, circuit analogies, and the discussion of noise very interesting. Even though I didn’t get to do the experiment in person, I thought that […]
Favorite Course 20 subject and why?20.110-Thermodynamics of Biomolecular Systems was my first real exposure to BE, and absolutely I loved it! It was interesting to see how deceivingly simple concepts and equations can be applied to complex biological systems—I was particularly a huge fan of […]
Favorite Course 20 subject and why?20.309!!! I really loved Instrumentation and Measurement for Biological System–it was just so fun and cool. I don’t want to do 309 like things in the future, but I deeply appreciate the knowledge I now have of microscopes, the data […]
Favorite Course 20 subject and why?20.109–Laboratory Fundamentals in Biological Engineering: This was the first time I felt like an actual engineer. I got to do some incredible projects using CRISPRi and even got the chance to create a battery made out of phages. The class […]
Favorite Course 20 subject and why?20.320–Analysis of Biomolecular and Cellular Systems. This class was the first class we all took together in the major and there was a lot of camaraderie with the 2020s on pset nights and studying for exams. On top of that […]
Favorite Course 20 subject and why?20.109–Laboratory Fundamentals in Biological Engineering: This class helped me to begin to understand how to effectively communicate science. Doing the experiments is one thing but knowing how to tell people about it is another feat of its own. 20.309–Instrumentation and […]
Favorite Course 20 subject and why?20.309–Biological Instrumentation and Measurement exposed me to the cross-disciplinary nature of bioengineering and incorporated both theories and hands-on exercises. It was a unique experience to build a microscope from scratch and measure the osmotic shock response of yeast. I still […]
I’m drawn to songs that showcase an artist’s unique voice. This playlist includes some great voices and the mood is a mix of every kind of emotion – mirroring my own state of being these days. I hope you enjoy – Alexis My comments on […]
