Virtual Experiments
Brandeis Quantitative Biology Boot Camp 2013
- Each group should sit at an adjacent computers and work cooperatively on one of the experiments
- Open this web page.
- Download the all the files for your experiment:
- The Word or PDF document(s) you downloaded describe your experiments. Read them.
- Run Matlab
- Drag all of the .m and .p files you downloaded into your Matlab working directory
- Experiment!
- Run experiments according to the instructions in the handout
- Collect numerical data
- Think about ways to analyze and plot your data
- Make plots that show your results
- What conclusions can you draw about the biological system you are studying?
- There will be coffee and snacks in the adjacent break room midway through the morning. Please, no food or drink in the computer room.
- Have fun and ask questions if you run into any problems or need help with Matlab.
- Each group should make a 2-3 slide Powerpoint presentation of their results and conclusions, and select one or more group members to speak for <5 min about them.
- Preface your Powerpoint file with a title slide that says which experiment you worked on and the names of your group members. By noon, email the file to gelles@brandeis.edu.
