 ## Experimental Sessions
 * **Building a microscope from scratch** [Ana, Heun Jin, Rosalind, & Minakshi]: Using a few rules-of-thumb about geometric optics, you will learn how to a microscope works and put your knowledge to the test by building one from scratch. You will learn the art of aligning lasers, laying down lenses, and testing your craftsmanship on biological samples. Further options for builds for the night may include optical tweezer, TIRF, or line-scan confocal.
-* **Live fly gene expression** [Bruno & Vinu]
+* **Live fly gene expression** [Bruno & Vinu]: In this experiment you will learn how to test theoretical models of transcriptional dynamics using confocal microscopy to image live fly embryos. You will learn how to design experiments to measure the elongation rate of mRNA and the input-output relationship between transcription factors and mRNA and how these experiments have been used to test theoretical models.
