Biological Sciences 145UW - The Unseen World

This course examines the diversity of unseen life that surrounds us all, from our bodies to the air we breathe to the corridors, fields, forests and waterways around us. We will study the sometimes unique and always surprising biology and lifestyles of the very small, including bacteria, yeast, fungi, protists and arthropods. Labs will explore the unseen diversity around us via field work around campus as well as laboratory experiments, will introduce students to data collection, manipulation and analysis, and will give students an appreciation that what we can't see is all around us.

This course is limited to first-year students.; Coreq: BIOL-145UWL.
