This page is designed as a community page for students at MWSU and Davidson College who are using synthetic biology to learn more about graph theory and network topology.
Davidson College
Our first meeting will be on Thursday, January 19, 2012. We will meet at 11 am (the common hour) in the Think Tank in the back of Belk computer lab.
We will start slowly with some introductory activities and a brief discussion of some news stories from the recent issue in Science that focused on synthetic biology. Read these pieces:
- The Allure of Synthetic Biology
- The Life Hacker
- Algae's Second Try
- A Lab of Their Own
- Visions of Synthetic Biology
Be ready to discuss these stories in general. What did you learn? What surprised you? What felt familiar?
Over the next 14 weeks, we will read a series of papers. We have chosen some to help us get started, but as the semester progresses, you will take the lead in identifying papers. Some of these papers will be easy for you, but others will be more difficult. We will work as a group to understand what is going on. In all cases, we will use these papers to help us frame a research project that will be conducted this summer by 8 Davidson students.
