Hi all, my name is Julia Stuart and I'm a freshman at Bryn Mawr. I'm from Michigan, and I took a couple biology classes in high school. I'm on the tennis team here, and my major is intentionally undecided right now, because I want to explore a lot of subjects. My first area of interest in this class is the ethicality of genetically modified foods and its possible implications. I learned a bit about it last year, but I'm excited to discuss it in class. Also, I want to know about the current research being done on telomeres for cancer prevention. Or, in general, how genetics could help cure or prevent diseases. Finally, I have some interest in epidemiology, so I'd like to learn more about disease transmission and how viruses and bacteria act within the body.
