I can't really argue with that. I've been going back and forth with myself over whether I should call it something different. Suggestions?

How about "LW Biology 101 Introduction: Bases of Biochemistry"?

I guess it depends of what you're going to talk about in the rest of the sequence.

I'm afraid I'm not sure what you like to call stuff within your field. But if I was going with the university subject metaphor and pulling something out of thin air it'd be:

BIO253: Modelling Cellular Systems

A second year Bio subject with a prereq of BIO101 and two semesters of maths and stats. :)

(Note: If I was actually within the field I expect at I would cringe at the inaccuracy.)

Hah, no, that does sound like a real course title, although usually they call it "cellular engineering" to sucker in more people who would be turned off by an explicit mention of math in the title.

(I kid. Mostly.)

It is only a small subset of what I want to cover, though. I shall continue to think on it.
