Ways of Knowing Biology
Ways of Knowing - 2008 Research Exploration Catalog
UW-Madison is well-known for its research. In fact, it ranks fourth among all institutions in research and development. Madison’s 39 undergraduate majors in the biological sciences reflect this diversity. Unfortunately, many students complete their academic career unaware of the variety of research that occurs around them. Ways of Knowing Biology offers students the chance to explore the diversity of biological research on campus, and to explore the possibility of getting involved.
During the Research Explorations students are guests in a faculty member’s research lab or field site. Small groups of 4 – 6 students spend two to four hours participating in the process through which scientists explore questions and search for answers. The exploration groups are small and students are encouraged to ask questions and discuss issues of importance to them.
