Today we met outdoors since we had such a nice weather, and got involved in a series of group discussions.
Students were asked to search for genetics-related news released in the last two months, and select a few that were of interest to them. Groups of 4-5 students met during 20 minutes to discuss their various articles and choose one that they wanted to share with the class at large, because of its relevance to the class or to every day life.
Then, during half hour, the whole class met and different groups brought their chosen topics to the attention of their classmates. We had discussions on such topics under the enjoyable Ohio spring sun.
Topics were mostly related to molecular genetics, ranging from epigenetics and autism, to a putative correlation between the strength of the immune system in women and their success in relationships, to the evolution of a photosynthetic slug.
