Hi from Ms. Ferro!

Hi Everyone! 
I hope this year treated you well and you're feeling confident going into final exams!
Luca is 5 months old now and getting so big. It's super fun being a mom but very hard work!
I'll be in the building in the next week so maybe I'll see you around. If not, have a wonderful summer and I'll see you in the fall! Take care!
Best,
Ms. Ferro :)

*** NOTE ABOUT PAGE NUMBERS:  Your notebook should include the complete notes and materials from class. It is more important that your notes be complete and match your table of contents than that they match mine listed here.  Thus, the page numbers here are just suggestions.

*** If I miss anything here, please let me know and I’ll fix the list.

Take notes on the following videos & pictures.  Note particularly how genetics results in specific
consequences because of the proteins produced.One gene, one protein: spidergoat, glowing
animals & killer fava beans
