| BIOL 14503 - First Year Biology Lab: Disease Ecology-Honors |
|
Credit Hours: 2.00. The course will engage students in authentic research and acquiring the necessary skills and concepts to be a successful biology major. Our research topic will be disease ecology in freshwater systems. Disease ecology is a growing field investigating the causes and effects of pathogen transmission and epidemics, primarily in natural populations. We will begin with a series of skill and knowledge-building laboratories, and then transition into student-led research projects that culminate in a presentation of the results in a poster session. Students will learn the fundamentals of disease ecology, basic laboratory techniques, how to perform scientific experiments, and gain experience communicating findings to other scientists and the public.
