Annotation
The aim of the course will be to introduce students to the latest questions and advances in botany and ecology of plants, protists and fungi through short lectures, practical demonstrations of the organisms studied and the methods used to study them, and ongoing open discussion. Thus, we primarily want to provide students with the opportunity to learn about new discoveries, findings and methods in botany.
Discussions with teachers will then allow students to place their findings in a broader context. Each session will be led by a different educator, an expert in their field.
