Section Title:
Journeys into Microbial World
Section Info:
They are everywhere. Our unaided eyes cannot see most of them. There are far more of them on the Earth than there are humans and animals. They live in the body and also in some of the most inhospitable environments on the planet. They are used to make many of the foods we eat, yet also can cause food poisoning. They keep us healthy, yet can make us sick. What are these creatures? Microbes! Lectures, discussions and other class activities will explore the contributions that microbes make to the lives of humans and animals, and their role in environmental sustainability. This course is intended for students in the humanities, arts and social sciences who want to understand the role of microbes in daily life and gain the practical knowledge and confidence needed for critical interpretation of information found in the popular press. First Year Discovery Program Course. Registration restricted to freshmen. Students should enroll in only one Discovery Course.
Restriction(s):
Restricted to First Time Freshman students.
