Using History of Physiology in Teaching About Science as a Research Endeavor

Symposium — Tuesday, April 27, 2021 — 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM — , Room APS-7
History of Physiology Group — Chair: Nancy Pelaez — Co-Chair: Erica Wehrwein

Learning outcomes that are often missing from traditional lab and lecture courses might be achieved with case studies of experiments from the history of physiology. The purpose of this symposium is to present a session where speakers discuss how they use history of physiology in teaching about science as a research endeavor. The talks will be followed by a panel discussion with the co-chairs moderating an interaction among the speakers and the audience.
