Hi.

2
00:00:00,970 --> 00:00:04,130
Welcome to Bioinformatics Life Sciences on
your computer.

3
00:00:04,130 --> 00:00:05,310
This is Bob Lessik.

4
00:00:05,310 --> 00:00:09,860
I'm coming to you on a very pleasant June
summer day at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore.

5
00:00:10,930 --> 00:00:15,020
And I'm really looking forward to doing
some bioinformatics with you this summer.

6
00:00:15,020 --> 00:00:17,800
Reminder, the course starts Monday, June
9th.

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,090
And our format is that each week we will
have new material.

8
00:00:21,090 --> 00:00:24,280
So a five week course with five weeks of
new material.

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:25,270
What to expect?

10
00:00:25,270 --> 00:00:29,160
Each week you'll see some short video
lectures and those video

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,690
lectures are often accompanied by some
short reading in PDF format.

12
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,980
Generally, the best way to learn
bioinformatics is by practice.

13
00:00:37,980 --> 00:00:40,860
So I'll have practice exercises, with
answers provided.

14
00:00:42,230 --> 00:00:44,890
Those will be good topics of discussion,
the discussion forum.

15
00:00:44,890 --> 00:00:47,172
I hope you have a lively discussion forum
where you

16
00:00:47,172 --> 00:00:50,640
can ask me and some other students
questions about bioinformatics.

17
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,050
Very exciting field.

18
00:00:52,050 --> 00:00:55,140
For those of you that want to complete the
coursework, and that's optional.

19
00:00:55,140 --> 00:00:57,889
We will have quizzes and weekly
assignments.

20
00:00:59,330 --> 00:01:00,770
I'm looking forward to getting started.

21
00:01:00,770 --> 00:01:03,263
Again, we start June 9th, you'll have a
whole week to access

22
00:01:03,263 --> 00:01:06,290
the first week's material and good luck
and let's have a fabulous summer.
