  • To fill the students' scientific "tool box" by demonstrating mastery of modern lab techniques and scientific methods that will be applied across biological systems and scales.
  • To demonstrate literacy by using appropriate library tools to find relevant scientific information and to communicate effectively using both written and oral formats.
  • To teach the students how to think through a scientific process with their research group while acquiring conceptual knowledge and understanding the benefits and challenges of collaborative work.
  • To teach how to use discovery science to explore patterns in nature, and understand the importance of accuracy and precision.
  • To provide the students with the opportunity to learn and apply fundamental biological information in the context of the course modules.
