Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)E5665: Optical Phenomena in Splash Spring 2017 (Apr. 22 - 23, 2017)
In this class we will learn about some basic properties of light including color, refraction, and polarization. We will not only explore the theory but will see how they manifest in the real world through hands-on demonstrations.
B4793: Biology of Toxins in Splash Spring 2016 (Apr. 09 - 10, 2016)
Have you ever wondered how toxins can kill you and why different toxins cause different symptoms? In this class, you will learn how various toxins attack pathways and processes within the the human body. By understanding the action of these toxins we will also see how pharmacologists are turning these toxins into medicine.
B4604: Biology of Toxins in Splash Fall 2015 (Nov. 07 - 08, 2015)
Have you ever wondered how toxins can kill you and why different toxins cause different symptoms? In this class, you will learn how various toxins attack pathways and processes within the the human body. By understanding the action of these toxins we will also see how pharmacologists are turning these toxins into medicine.
