Caramel Crunch or Autozygosity with drift and mutation?
Last week was a bit of a milestone for me. It was the grande finale of my first course as a professor. I developed and taught a 4th year course on population genetics and I was fortunate to have a really great group of students. To celebrate, I delivered the final quiz of the term using the best and tastiest medium for disseminating higher knowledge – cake! The students had to explain the meaning of the equation inscribed on the cake (extra points were given for the complete derivation :)). [hint: it was called the mutation-drift cake !]
Thanks all!
