Natural Sciences 191CNS88 - FYS- Biological Super Villains

What are invasive species, how do they get here, and what can we do to stop them? We will explore these questions (and more!) as we learn about the plants, animals, and pathogens that spread rapidly through our ecosystems. We will also learn how to turn our curiosities into questions, and how to come up with ways to limit the damage caused by invasive species. Join me for a semester of crazy case studies, interactive activities, and info that will help you navigate the sciences here at UMass!

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