Genetic Engineering and Society, Lecture 3b, Honors Collegium 70A, UCLA

Course Description:
Honors Collegium 70A: Genetic Engineering in Medicine, Agriculture, & Law is a class that examines the historical and scientific study of genetic engineering in medicine, agriculture, and law, including examination of social, ethical, and legal issues raised by new technology.

About the Professor:
Bob Goldberg is a plant molecular biologist who specializes in the area of plant gene expression. The goal of his research has been to understand how plant cells differentiate and how genes are activated selectively in specialized cell types during plant development. He has received UCLA Distinguished Teaching Awards from the Department of Biology and the Department of Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology, and was awarded the all-campus Luckmann Distinguished Teaching Award from the Academic Senate.

I swear, one of the girls in the class sounds exactly like the new Asian girl in House :P

[tweaker1bms]

Damn the T.A.'s parents musta done some genetic engineering, that girl is fine! :)

He may come off as an ass, but he is teaching them to be more confident and direct.

I really think he is a great teacher. If I could give him an advice it would be he must thank the students when they try to answer his questions. In the other hand, does not the UV light damage the eyes? The students are looking at the gel without protection!

he's an ass

[crangdaniel]

Now thats a speaker that really cares about the students learning, bravo
