导言-饶毅

本节课程对《生物学概念和途径》的内容、目的、要求进行了理念性的介绍。这门课由饶毅、王晓东、施一公、谢晓亮、邓兴旺、汤超、何川、鲁白、顾红雅教授主讲。课程要求学生读原始文献，让学生了解生物学概念的产生，理解实验设计，分析和思考。

孤独的天才—孟德尔 -饶毅

他孤立于当时的科学界，做出奠基性突破却终生未被学界承认；他的工作几十年后尚不为同一学科第二重要的科学家、诺贝尔奖得主所理解；他发现的貌似简单的理论，即使在今天多数学过的人，都没意识到其智力高度；他不是为利益做研究的纯粹科学家，身后却被疑造假，再遭遇不公。这位孤独的天才，就是自称为“实验物理学教师”的遗传学之父：孟德尔。饶毅教授作为全世界了解孟德尔最多的活着的人，故事性地介绍了孟德尔的生前身后的故事、发表的论文，重点介绍了孟德尔做的研究工作，包括其如何选择试验材料，研究的分工安排，解决途径和思维方法等。
