Venomous Cures
Venomous Cures
In this course we will explore surprising discoveries about how highly toxic animal venoms can be used in biomedical research and treat disease. The exploration of venomous animals will serve as an entry to learning basic principles of human and animal physiology. Students will explore this topic while learning how to communicate scientific findings effectively. We will read works from science journalists and learn to read primary research articles written by scientists. Students will learn how to incorporate scientific findings into an evidence-based argument targeted for the general public. 3 hrs. sem.
