Natural Sciences 191CNS34 - FYS- Insects&Soc:Vital to Vile

Did you know that dragonflies are the world's deadliest hunters? Or that mosquitoes kill over 1 million people every year? Join me in exploring topics in ecology, conservation, human-insect interactions, and what it means to be a scientist through the fascinating world of insects. Topics include mosquitoes: the good, the bad and the ugly, how to read a scientific paper, humanizing scientific research, and a workshop in catching and preserving insects. Come prepared to be curious, think critically, and learn new skills; it'll 'bee' delightful.

Open to Natural Sciences Freshman with a declared major or on the Natural Sciences Exploratory Track.
