This course provides an opportunity for participants from a variety of disciplines to interact. A biological system or phenomenon will be analysed from multiple perspectives ( e. g., genetic, molecular, cellular, tissue, developmental, physiological, organism, ecological, evolutionary, environmental), and the results will be synthesised in a computational model. The different biological perspectives will be determined by course participants, each among whom will contribute expertise in a particular subject. Participants will compose manuscripts that are suitable for publication and describe these works by delivering brief conference-style seminars, for evaluation. The course will culminate with a multiauthored manuscript that will be assembled from the individual manuscripts and suitable for publication.
Paricipants' interests, preferences, and desires will be considered in determining course content, format, and evaluation.
