96% of animals are invertebrates and they play many crucial roles in our world, from food production to carbon cycling and human disease. In this course we’ll explore invertebrate zoology using phylogenetic trees (which are hypotheses of how invertebrates are related to one another) as our central questions. Learning activities will include lectures, labs, a field trip, and a Wikipedia project, and your skills in using a microscope, evaluating scientific literature, fieldwork, and communicating science should improve. By the end of the course I hope you gain a new appreciation for invertebrates and that science will always be a work in progress that involves many different types of people.
