This is going to give my identity away to a couple people in my class if they read this board, but oh well - I just had to share.

I spent ALL DAY on this one lecture. Well, maybe about 6 hours. I just could not understand it. I finally summarized it, and I'm so happy because except for the stuff on the lecture notes that I already knew (um, yes, catabolism is the opposite of anabolism), this is all the lecture notes are really saying:

Cancer: lactate, NAD+

Good: LKB1, AMPK, p53, PTEN

Bad: mTor, P13K, Akt

The end!

Plus, mTor just sounds so mean, like a dinosaur.

I know what you mean! Not specifically, but I find I spend half my time when typing up my own notes just trying to figure out what the prof actually wants me to memorize. Of course, this is more true for some courses (i.e. biochem), than others.

Some courses it's pretty clear what we're supposed to master (which in some cases = everything). And this is good, even if what we have to master is "everything". But with classes like biochem, where diff instructors can emphasize different details, require you to know specific details about pathways (or not), etc., it's just so hard to know sometimes.

Just curious, are you at Jefferson?
