<p>guys can you stop referring to them as pre-med classes. it’s kind of annoying to real science students.</p>
<p>pre-med students sabotage many science classes with their myopic and less-than-intellectual goals. they dislike class discussions and only want to do a minimum of the work, and complain about brilliant professors with innovative teaching methods. They dislike interdisciplinary connections because it complicates their pre-med path. I find their passion for science to be less than ideal.</p>
<p>there is no pre-med programme at UVA, for that matter. it doesn’t exist. we have some pretty exciting neuroscience and advanced research programmes, and UVA has been for many decades THE leader (and the pioneer) in research on circadian rhythms that regulate about 10% of the human genome.</p>
<p>but we don’t have a pre-med programme.</p>
