What should we learn in genetics class?

Dr. Rosemary Redfield (UBC) just published a perspective in PLoS Biology discussing how to adapt genetics teaching to be more relevant to the "real world", and to help aid student understanding and retention of the concepts. An interesting read, and (for educators) brings up some questions about if basic science courses need overhauls to better represent the scientific knowledge and applications of today.
