Course aim:
This course is designed to introduce theorists to the core principles of development. As such, there will be a basic introduction to crucial concepts in the field and the experimental approaches that led to this understanding. We hope for this course to open conversations between our theory trainees and experimentalists that aid in understanding the science on campus and exploring new ideas together. Hence, we also include opportunities for conceptual discussion within the group.
