Avalon typically offers well over 40 regularly scheduled classes a week - over 2000 public classes a year! And that number doesn't include Saturday Workshops or our weekend Teacher Training Programs, which run all year long in our downstairs Graduate Studio. But even with thousands of scheduled classes, with two full-sized Studios we still have unused space that we'd like to put to use.

There are serious inaccuracies in Broad's book, especially in its historical sections.
Mind-controlled transgene expression by a wireless-powered optogenetic designer cell implant. The fact that neural processes - and cultural programming viewed from a broader perspective - can turn genes on and off is not something we didn't know before. In a sense, all work in cultural neurobiology (studies of brains linked in larger cultural networks) depends on it.
