In this course, we will investigate a diverse spectrum of brilliant ideas and discoveries, as well as the simple science, and often-humorous stories or people, behind them. From vaccines to photosynthesis, to GMOs and soil science, to how microwaves and air conditioning work, students will get to explore multiple fields of science and develop confidence in applying fundamental scientific principles to big ideas of their own.
Open to Natural Sciences Freshman with a declared major or on the Natural Sciences Exploratory Track who are in CNS Connect RAP in Kennedy Hall.
