Welcome to "CBC" (Cell Bio Comedy) Radio!

Your hosts are three 3rd year students at Queen's University: Nathan Putnam (Biology and Chemistry), Paul Atkins (Biochemistry), and Yan Yu (Biology).

We made this resource to help communicate some of the biggest processes and organelles in a generic cell, as a project for CELL BIOLOGY (BIOL330) taught by Dr. Sharon Regan. The information and images we have put together are supposed to be accurate and serious, but as you will soon find out, we have made accompanying "webcasts", where we discuss organelles and processes in more...memorable ways. Bad puns, jokes, descriptions, and personal stories you might not want to know about are going to ensue as you navigate your way through the generic cell pictured on the left!

To access expanded information, as well as episodes, either click on the cell region or red button that points to it on the left, or click on the episode from the list below.

**NOTE** To listen to the episodes, you will first need to go to www.drivehq.com and log in using "032122" and password "nathan" - otherwise you won't hear us and that would be sad :(
