The course will also cover the scientific principles involved in the discovery and will survey the historical milieu in which the discovery occurred. The scientific principles and techniques involved in and derived from these discoveries will be further investigated through first hand observations in the laboratory while a deeper historical perspective will be obtained through field trips to area medical museums. This course will not count on the biology major or minor but it can be used to partially fulfill the Natural Science Areas of Knowledge requirement. Offered January Term in alternate years. Three hours of lecture/laboratory/field trips per day. Three hours. Mr. Martin.
