Landing a date can be hard and sometimes you just can't find the right words to attract your love interest. But don't fret - you're not alone! Across the animal kingdom, many other species are in a similar predicament, and have evolved fascinating communication systems in order to advertise themselves in hopes of finding a companion. This course will explore the brains and behavior that lead to complex communication acts different animals employ to attract a mate, including birds that moonwalk, and fish that talk through electricity.
Open to Natural Sciences Freshman with a declared major or on the Natural Sciences Exploratory Track.
