Colgate University: Discoveries in Biology
During Fall 2007, we learned about research and theory relevant to the discipline of Biology. We read primary literature and had student-led discussions, used the scientific method to develop field experiments to answer itching questions students have been pondering, and debated about controversial topics in science (including stem cell research, predator management, genetically modified organisms, and global warming). After having equated scientific method and scientific revolutions (paradigm shifts) to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, students and I had a Chautauqua at the Madison Wind farm.
