Dear Gail Kunhlein,
We encourage any students interested in registering for Wayne State's Bio5180: Molecular Aquatic Ecology" to begin the registration process by April 25th.
There are still spaces open for our exciting new field course, “Bio5180: Field Investigations in Biological Sciences – Molecular Aquatic Ecology,” offered by Wayne State University and located at the Belle Isle Aquarium. This 3-week intensive field and lab course will provide students with hands-on field and lab experiences by engaging students in organism collection, taxonomy, PCR, DNA sequencing, recombinant DNA technology and quantitative analysis of molecular data, and will offer an opportunity for independent projects in which students explore their own ecological questions and design experiments. The lecture part of the course will cover principles of molecular biology, molecular techniques, aquatic ecology, bioinformatics, population and community ecology, and statistical methods for ecological study.
Dates: June 3rd - 19th, 2014.
This course is open to both non-WSU and WSU upper level undergrad and graduate students.
Please visit http://sun.science.wayne.edu/~jram/bio5180/ for registration and tuition information, and to preview a course syllabus.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jeffrey Ram
Dept. of Physiology, Wayne State University
