BIOEE 1640
FWS: Topics in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

Ever wonder why menopause exists? Or what a honeybee really gets out of living with all those other bees? We will explore these and other puzzles of how and why creatures both great and small (and even humans!) raise their young in extended families. We will read scientific articles, beginning with Darwin himself, and learn to translate scientific prose into everyday writings your grandmother would understand and enjoy. We will also practice more academic forms of writing by crafting a grant proposal and a scientific article based on your own research.

When Offered Fall.

Satisfies Requirement First-Year Writing Seminar.
