Favorite Course 20 subject and why?20.320 Analysis of Biomolecular and Cellular Systems for teaching me to think about biological systems like an engineer, forcing me to bond with pals over the #Stud5Struggle, and somehow letting me return the next year as a TA! Also 20.309 […]
Favorite Course 20 subject and why?20.230-Immunology, for opening my eyes to the theme park and enigma that is immunology. 20.109-Laboratory Fundamentals in Biological Engineering and 20.309-Instrumentation and Measurement for Biological Systems gave me an appreciation for the skills and knowledge sets beyond the technical biology […]
Favorite Course 20 subject and why?20.110-Thermodynamics of Biomolecular Systems because it was first real taste of Course 20 and on the flip side, 20.380-Biological Engineering Design because it was so fun implementing the knowledge we amassed over the years with my Course 20 friends and […]
Favorite Course 20 subject and why?20.109-Laboratory Fundamentals in Biological Engineering, I really loved how we got to learn and do a bit of everything in this class! This was the first time that I saw the true breadth of Course 20, as we covered everything […]
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 […]
