Public Presentations of Research

In this course students choose current issues or controversies to investigate involving science and its social impact. They work through all the stages of research from defining a manageable project through formal public presentations to producing reports and other products based on their findings.

We welcome members of the Swarthmore community to attend any or all of these talks.
