==THIS IS THE WIKI FOR THE COURSES IN SS 2019== | |||
==Syllabus== | ==Syllabus== | ||
This 3 day intensive course builds upon the practical skills acquired in the module “[[DIY Bio: doing things with biology]]” (by Mindaugas Gapsevicius) or a previous "[[GMU:Experimental Microbiology|Experimental Microbiology]]" course. | This 3 day intensive course builds upon the practical skills acquired in the module “[[DIY Bio: doing things with biology]]” (by Mindaugas Gapsevicius) or a previous "[[GMU:Experimental Microbiology|Experimental Microbiology]]" course. | ||
The course will introduce you to the methodologies, project planning and experimental strategies in the natural sciences. While working in the [[GMU:DIY BioLab| DIY BioLab]] (Chair of Media Environments) you will learn how to think like a microbiologist and what it means to do scientific research. Educational objectives include literature research, experiment design, result documentation, discussion and scientific writing. | The course will introduce you to the methodologies, project planning and experimental strategies in the natural sciences.

The course will be structured in a flexible way, tailored to the needs of the participants and the program will be developed collaboratively. Attendance during the 3 days of the course, as well as the delivery of detailed project documentation (paper, artwork, etc.) until the end of the semester is required. | The course will be structured in a flexible way, tailored to the needs of the participants and the program will be developed collaboratively.

Since there is no unequivocal definition of life, most current definitions in biology are descriptive. Life is considered a characteristic of something that preserves, furthers or reinforces its existence in the given environment. This characteristic exhibits all or most of the following traits: | Since there is no unequivocal definition of life, most current definitions in biology are descriptive.

In biology, an organism (from Greek: ὀργανισμός, organismos) is any individual entity that exhibits the properties of life. It is a synonym for "life form". | In biology, an organism (from Greek: ὀργανισμός, organismos) is any individual entity that exhibits the properties of life. It is a synonym for "life form". | ||
Organisms are classified by taxonomy into specified groups such as the multicellular animals, plants, and fungi; or unicellular microorganisms such as a protists, bacteria, and archaea. All types of organisms are capable of reproduction, growth and development, maintenance, and some degree of response to stimuli. | Organisms are classified by taxonomy into specified groups such as the multicellular animals, plants, and fungi; or unicellular microorganisms such as a protists, bacteria, and archaea.

They live in almost every habitat from the poles to the equator, deserts, geysers, rocks and the deep sea. Some are adapted to extremes such as very hot or very cold conditions, others to high pressure or [...] high radiation environments. Microorganisms also make up the microbiota found in and on all multicellular organisms. | They live in almost every habitat from the poles to the equator, deserts, geysers, rocks and the deep sea.
