A recent AJC article covered how Georgia lawmakers want all public university syllabi to be made public, in line with a movement to keep classrooms free from what has been labeled as “woke.” I’ll save everyone the trouble; I am glad to share my syllabus openly.

Georgia's college faculty worry public syllabus rule could lead to harassment
The policy to make course syllabuses public is being partially implemented this semester. By next fall, every class offered by USG schools must have its syllabus online.

I’m so happy that the major focus of my PhD is out! Very proud of what we accomplished here, and excited for the potential this tech has to enhance future point-of-care protein diagnostics.
