Tuition: public four-year, in-state, 2025–26, before housing; four years at this year's prices. Astra: one 15-minute lesson per topic, an estimate.

Fifteen minutes a day beats a course nobody finishes.

CRISPR does not search for a gene. A short guide RNA carries the address; Cas9 carries the scissors. But Cas9 cuts only where that address sits next to a short landing site - the PAM. No PAM, no cut.
