Series Details
About
Hi everyone! In this series, we'll review some Mendelian and Non-Mendelian genetics before moving onto studying epigenetic mechanisms - how our behaviors and environments can affect our gene expression. Some experience with basic biology be helpful, but definitely not required. I will add more sessions once enough people join the series.
Tutor Qualifications
I've completed high school biology and completed Brown university's Intro to Genetics and Epigenetics course. I've also been tutoring with various organizations over the past two years.
