Five tracks. Start anywhere.
Foundations
Every cell in your body is descended, in an unbroken chain, from a single original cell that lived 3.5 billion years ago. This track covers the shared vocabulary every other track returns to — molecular biology, ecosystems, chemistry, how to read a paper, and what living things actually are.
Genomics
When the Human Genome Project finished in 2003, newspapers called it the "blueprint of humanity." This track goes deeper — from base pairs and SNPs to GWAS, CRISPR, pharmacogenomics, cancer genomics, and where the frontier actually is.
Marine Biology
We have better maps of Mars than the ocean floor. This track covers reef ecology, deep-sea pressure systems, phytoplankton, fisheries collapse, marine biotech, and the policy holding it all together — or failing to.
Biotech Policy
A single CRISPR-edited mushroom can require approval from three different federal agencies. This track covers the regulatory landscape, FDA drug approval, gene therapy governance, biosecurity, genetic privacy law, and where the frameworks are breaking down.
Biotech
Genentech went public in 1980 with no products and no revenue — just proof that bacteria could make human insulin. This track covers pharmaceutical development, synthetic biology, diagnostics, industrial biotech, agricultural applications, and how the industry actually works. Ends with a venture design capstone.
