The Strange and Marvelous World of Biology

The world of biology is full of fascinating plants, unforgettable microorganisms, and unbelievably absurd creatures. Parasitic worms that cause grasshoppers to go insane. Zombie ants… and other insects who mimic them. Tongue-eating isopods. Snot as a defense mechanism?
We’ll talk about different kinds of biological partnerships, some helpful and some that are so dastardly cruel that you won’t believe that they exist. We’ll discuss the research that modern biologists are doing around the world. This is a fun class focusing in on the incredible richness and diversity of the world around us.
