Often new technology has the ability to inspire or terrify yet excite us. By now you must have figure out by now what a nanobot really is. These robots are so small that you cannot see them with your naked eyes After all, each one is supposed to be on the scale of the nano meter, that is around one billionth of a meter in length.In a world of cyborgs, it seems pretty likely that many people will have some number of nanobots in their blood, completing tasks such as clearing away blockages, monitoring health, and boosting the immune system in …

I've heard differing opinions on Nanobiotech, and not many people seem to take it/have taken it. How useful is the class? Does it help for the Chem analysis lab (specifically nanochemistry)?

Response from Kingsley:

I am in the Biotech lab and I plan on majoring in bioengineering in college, so from someone with similar interests, I would say it mostly depends. (So helpful right!) It is taught by Dr. Locklear in a similar style to her neurobio classes, which is based on current articles. I didn’t take the class myself, but I had Dr. Locklear for DNA II and I know people who have taken it. I would say it is not essential for someone interested in bio or chem, but it can be a useful complement to the lab-based skills you get in classes like DNA Science or Orgo, because you learn a lot of cutting-edge theory. If you have space in your schedule and are interested in the subject, then take it! Otherwise, don’t sweat it because you aren’t missing out on a ton.
