This fourth year special topics cross listed course will take students to London and to Paris to view historic collections at museums and research institutes to gain an appreciation of the foundations that shaped the future of science and society. Many of the roots of modern western science are European in origin. Students will be evaluated in part on their participation at various stages of the course. Seminars are conducted during our stay in the UK and France that discuss and assess students' research experiences. This experiential learning includes guided tours by collection curators of the Royal Botanical Gardens in London and the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, and students' own research in both institutions. The course instructors add scientific and historical expertise to these student experiences. Students' participation includes oral reports of their research progress and contributions to the seminar discussions.
