Dr. Dearborn teaches Biotech 12A and 12B, which deal with regulatory aspects of the biotechnology industry. She teaches sections of the course that meet from 9:00 to 3:30 on three consecutive Saturdays. She is well qualified to teach the classes, as she worked for quite a few years in the biotechnology industry and now runs her own analytical chemistry laboratory.

The Saturday class, which meets for six hours, does make for a long day. I can't say that I found the material covered in the class especially engaging. Dr. Dearborn is responsive to students' questions, though, and she is quite willing to provide advice relating to finding work in biotechnology and other science fields. It is easy to do well in these courses if you spend a few hours reviewing the material during the weeks between class meetings.
