BIO 495 - Integrating Biological Sciences

2 Hour(s)
This course will explore the ways in which the biological sub-disciplines (cell/molecular, organismal and ecology/evolution) interact with one another through current issues, such as nutrient pollution and cycling, the evolution of cancer or ecological genetics. Data interpretation from both scientific and general sources is emphasized. Additionally, students practice communication of science to both professional and lay audiences. We explore the ramifications of biological research, scientific knowledge and the practice of science on our society.
