Our Microbial World

Catalog description

(PN) Microorganisms are ubiquitous, even though we cannot see them with our naked eye. During this J-term, we will focus on the role of microbes in many of life's activities. You may be familiar with microbes as disease causing organisms, but we'll also think about the role that microbes play in our diet, health, and civilization. Our discussions and activities will explore the role of microbes in societal topics. This course will include opportunities for hands-on lab activities. Seniors by permission only.
