Space is limited so look for preregistration information.
During class, students will present the state of scientific knowledge during a given period, and discuss a specific scientist who eventually demonstrated the errors in these beliefs. While most of the course will focus on historical events, the last section will discuss a more current scientist. All students will be expected to read each paper and participate in a discussion after the oral presentation. This course will focus on studies not traditionally discussed in an introductory genetics course. Most of that time will be used for lectures and student presentations, but during some class periods we will meet in a laboratory to look at real embryos or perform an experiment.
