Week 1: Introduction

Hi! My name is Kaelyn, and I'm a junior concentrating in Molecular and Cellular Biology (aka the best concentration). On top of that, I'm interested in pursuing Astrophysics as a secondary, which is why I'll be taking Astro 16. I had a great time in Astro 17 last semester, but am even more excited for this semester. As I have much more experience with the life sciences than I do physics, I'm especially excited to learn a bit more about astrochemistry and astrobiology. My ultimate goal is to go to medical school and become a surgeon, but after that I wouldn't turn down an astronaut job!
