{"pk":40264,"title":"Mixing Medievalism and Molecular Biology in the Age of Covid-19","subtitle":null,"abstract":"“From Beast Books to Resurrecting Dinosaurs” is a general education honors course focusing on the description, understanding, and classification of animals over time. It was first co-taught with a chronological structure that began with classical texts and ended with synthetic biology, until COVID- 19 prompted a reconsideration of that structure. This reconsideration, in turn, brought the literature closer to the biology, essentially integrating the approaches of both disciplines—without detriment to either, to the wonder of the molecular biologist and the medievalist.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives  4.0","short_name":"CC BY-NC-ND 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
