This 3-week mini-course will dive into the biology of non-model organisms, and the approaches we can use to study them. Traditionally in Biology, model organisms have been used to answer new questions. Yet, studying a more diverse array of organisms can lead to new discoveries. We will explore the world of non-model Biology through a series of short lectures, primary literature discussions, talks from experts working on non-model organisms, and some practical sessions including a field sampling. No prerequisites required.
