inhabitants of the underworld,
and the mythic journey. We will

encounter with death; with evil;
with time (past and future);
with cosmic order; with the
other sex; with the self. Then

sis, and the mechanisms which
cells utilize to control the ex
pression of their genes. We will
examine very carefully the me
thods which scientists utilize to
obtain information about gene
function, and we will analyze
raw data in order to better
understand the inferences
drawn from a particular set of
experimental results. The
course will be run as a study
group with each participant
contributing information to the
whole.
