Comments on teaching This "teaching" page has pointers to classes I no longer teach, to things I've written about teaching, and some other teaching web pointers (which may now be obsolete).
Recently taught:
Not recently taught:
- BME 123T senior thesis writing
- BME 123(A and B) Bioengineering Design Project
- BME 200 On being a bioinformatics grad student
- BME 205 Bioinformatics: Models and Algorithms (formerly BME100 Intro to Bioinformatics)
- BME 220 (was CMPS 243) Protein Bioinformatics
- BME 235 Banana Slug Genomics
BME 280B (was CMPE 280B) Bioinformatics research seminar

I have recently been updating some of the department's web pages, after a top-down redesign in the school of engineering threw out several of our important pages. Here are a few pages I have rescued and started editing:

BMEBBS-FAQ.html is a frequently-asked-questions page for the Biomolecular Engineering and Bioinformatics B.S. degree. It is still in rough draft.
BMEB-grad-alumni.html is just a retrieval of the old grad-alumni page, which has not been maintained since about 2014. I plan to get information to include all the more recent grads and to try to track down and update entries for some of the older grads, but I've not started on it yet.

Research pages:

A list of essentially all my papers, with links to on-line copies for most of them.

h-index, a measure of how well-cited my papers are (an h-index of 37 means that 37 of my papers have been cited 37 or more times):

My Erdős number is three, via several of my coauthors with Erdős numbers of 2: David Haussler, Jeff Ullman, Danny Dolev, Gary Haggard, Richard Hughey, Andrea Di Blas, and perhaps others.
all my group's notes and work for CASP9, CASP8, CASP7, CASP6, CASP5, CASP4, CASP3, CASP2. (Note: files may be a bit skimpy in the early years.)

Loosely sorted collections of bookmarks:

Bioinformatics pages
Bookmarks about fonts and typography
Bookmarks about indigo and woad
Other WWW pages I found interesting, loosely classified (mostly rather old)
bookmarks from home that I exported from Firefox. Some of these are ones I use frequently, others are junk that I bookmarked and never visited again.
Unsorted bookmarks that may eventually make it onto one of my other pages (mostly rather old)
