Lab exercise for 3/06: For our next lab (3/6/06), we will be doing a modification of the exercise "Microevolution in Deer Mice," so please read this section of your lab manual. You do not need to read the "Molecular Evolution" lab exercise posted on the Bio 1B main page (there was a change of plans in this regard). Apologies if you've already read it.

Midterm #1 graded: Midterm #1 has been graded and will be discussed in section on Monday, March 6. Please note: You will get to look at your copy of the exam (with the questions), but will not get to keep it. You are only allowed to keep your Scantron. This is so that exam questions can be re-used in subsequent years. .

Extra office hours: The GSIs will hold extra office hours in 2013 VLSB the week of the midterm: Brian Wed 1-2, and Amber Wed 11-12 and Fri 12-1. Also remember you can go to any GSI's office hours.
