Natural Science 0346 - Microscopy & Modeling

This class is an advanced "choose your own adventure" to explore the visual tools in biological research. We will learn as a group about microscopes, analyzing microscopy data, creating digital models, 3D printing, and other cutting-edge methods to visualize biological data. Students will choose an ongoing independent project and participate in research group sessions to share results and work through challenges. This course is recommended for Division II or III students who would like to use visual techniques in their projects, but there are also exciting group projects to join.
