Developmental Biology and Embryology

You kick off Monday with a fast-paced Cell Biology lecture, delving into signal transduction pathways vital for development. Later, your Embryology lab is intensely focused on identifying precise stages of amphibian gastrulation under the microscope. You struggle to differentiate specific germ layers at first, but your TA offers a helpful mnemonic. After lunch, you meet your study group to outline concepts for your upcoming Developmental Genetics problem set. You then squeeze in a quick run at the campus recreation center before tackling readings on oogenesis.
