Two cells walk into a bar . . .

Cell communication.  Not your iphone, but the conversations going on inside of you.  Can you hear them?  Can you understand?  This week's focus will be on the most basic of all life forms--the cell.  We will work toward achieving a level of cell literacy through a variety of readings, viewings, and exercises in class and out.  By the end of the week, you should be able to listen in and understand the chatter going on inside you--the conversation of life.
