Screen shot of a bing.com quiz about who discovered the structure of DNA with an X next to Rosalind Franklin and a check mark next to James Watson

Wow bing is really showing their misogyny this morning in their fun little DNA quiz.. they had Rosalind Franklin as an answer to “with whom did Crick discover the structure of DNA” and said it was incorrect! 😡

Thank you! The students all seemed really nice and engaged so I’m excited for the semester! ☺️

Thank you so much! It seems like a really good group of students so I’m pretty excited for the rest of the semester!

I had my very first #ConservationGenomics course as Professor Hartman this morning! 💕

I’m teaching my first class next semester - Conservation Genetics - for undergraduate and graduate students! But, I’m struggling to get started with my presentations bc I have no previous slides to base them on. Has anyone taught/taken a class and would be willing to share slides or a syllabus? 😅

A collection of circular hard enamel pins which say "It's Dr, Actually".
