I find myself frequently trying to find the dates on this calendar, and I can never find any links to this site.

http://academic-calendar.uchicago.edu/future/index.html

It has all the dates of academic interest (days off, starting and ending days of each quater).

This quater I am planning on taking Bioinformatics.

I saw a presentation on Bioinformatics at Fermi Lab.  They have searching programs to look at, I believe, the genome sequence, to find similar patterns.  Pretty interesting.

Hopefully the course will be good too!
