Step by step you are getting closer to building up your labs. I am also really happy to see that you are extending our bio family with the introduction of new species: mycelium, slime molds, E coli and even small nematode worms: the C. elegans. Keep up the good work!

Assigment

This week you have two assignments:

We will do assignment 2 together on Monday.
