Dr. Johnny El-Rady explaining how proteins are made on U-tube
Dr. El-Rady and his genetics class (PCB 3063) made a video and put it on U-Tube
explaining how proteins are made. You can
view the video here. Be sure to view part 1 first-they had to split the video

both parts. Dr. El-Rady is often at the forefront of instructional innovation and
has won awards for his teaching techniques.
