One of the nicest professors I've ever had. Cares a lot about his students. Class schedule and structure was a bit confusing.

Great professor, very passionate and informative. He's one of the few professor's I've had at UW who is understanding of students lives and was excited to see our projects.

I had Francisco for gen 527 (might have formerly been 627?), and he's a great guy. Super funny and passionate and disorganized in an endearing way. The lectures for this class are really dense, but most of the grade is based on a separate term project with lots of freedom on the topic.

Super accessible and caring about students' learning and progress. Lectures are heavily focused on papers and results, but definitely takes time to focus on the main points and what students are expected to know. Great experience.

Great person and willing to help the students anyway he can. Lectures can focus too much on paper results which makes things confusing

This class was developmental genetics for conservation. Very interesting topic and you get to work on your own project which is extremely rewarding. Great teacher, would take any class he teaches again.
