This colloquium is open to upper level BME students who previously took, or are currently enrolled in, BME300 and are pursuing BME Departmental Honors. The class will meet once weekly and use out-of-class readings/podcasts with in-class discussions to delve deeper into synthesis, analysis, and especially application of biomaterials in medicine. The purpose of this course is to enhance your knowledge of translational biomaterials in a research setting by fostering your ability to read, critically analyze, and discuss relevant scientific research articles.

Description not available at this time

Students in the Biology and Art Honors Colloquium will do a series of extra readings on topics relating biology to modern or contemporary art, chosen and discussed in consultation with the instructor. They will also share their responses to those readings with the class in the form of extra homework posts online and an additional oral short presentation to the class.

Not available at this time

Students choose a topic to research on their own under the guidance of a faculty advisor who will then grade the final written report.
