Annotation
Thus far, histology has bored countless generations of students. This course aims to counter that by highlighting microscopy and histology techniques useful in physiology, experimental medicine on animal models, and clinical practice.
After the 1st (introductory) lecture, every student is free to de-register ("run away") from the course.
