Teaching a class on the principles of (genetic and cultural) evolution to (mostly) computer science students. What stories should I tell them? What would you be curious to learn?

🎉 Happy new semester! 🎉
Feeling very grateful I get to (co)teach/talk/think about some of my favorite things this semester!:
From mechanistic towards less interpretable ML models, how do we go about building useful, predictive, beautiful, elegant models in biomedicine?

Last summer I got curious about the immune system and a colleague gave me Janeway's Immunobiology as summer reading. (Such an amazing read!)
This year I want to learn more about the brain. What should I read?

It’s a bit surreal to be in Athens and read about the lives of people from not that long ago and also read about how we can now make transparent mice :)
