Everyone knows Darwin, Newton and Einstein but what about Percy Julian, Barbara McClintock, or Carlos Finlay? This course will expose first year students to the female and minority scientists who made significant contributions to their fields, but are largely unknown. Students will spend each class period researching and discussing the life history of a female or minority scientist, and participate in a discussion of the science they accomplished, and the times in which they lived. No science background required.
