When was the last time you have seen fireworks on any campus? Not since my days at Reed College have I witnessed such a cool event!

New Course Offering in the Spring
I am offering a new graduate level course on Epigenetics in the Spring 2015 (advanced undergraduates are welcome). I am looking forward to presenting recent advances in this exciting field of biology and to participating in exciting discussions with the students about the current developments and what might lie ahead. Hope to see you!
New Book
Received a copy of another book that has come out. It contains our chapter on protein-DNA interactions.
State of The University of Texas at Dallas 2014
UTD is a very young school: less than 40 years old. The University President Daniel described the incredible growth of UTD, exceptional contribution of people and academic output. Notably, more graduate degrees than undergraduate degrees were conferred at UTD. More Asian students in the entering class than any other racial group.
Construction on campus
A lot of activity everywhere on campus. UTD doubled in student enrollment over last 10 years. And still growing.
