Question 11 transcript:
"I guess I would tell them to take as many math classes as they possibly can, to learn a lot of statistics, if your really interested in looking at complex data analysis using sonar. To learn some computer programming while you are still young and it's easy. And take the hard classes in your interest area because there's a lot of the advances being made in biology are by applying the new technologies to biology and really being able to cross between disciplines. So don't just think that taking the classes that seem most relevant, sometimes you find that the courses you thought was the least relevant to things are the most important, so explore, a lot."
