Would you be enthralled with reading articles that explore Science, Nature and Technology that merge with fine literature and storytelling and then learning more details in class and discussing those with your classmates? Your coordinators have selected the best of the best. These articles were originally published in well regarded magazines such as The Atlantic, The New Yorker, and The Scientific American and then collected for the anthologies. They are thus suited to the lay public and not just science enthusiasts. Most of the selected works are 12-20 pages in length, thus homework time will be reasonable.

Format: As a collaborator, you (possibly with a partner) will be expected to choose and present one of these articles. It will be your journey to research the details of the article and perhaps its author. Presentation options include an introduction of the author and the general scientific field encompassed. Take a deep dive and explore any aspect of the material that excites you and share that with the class and formulate discussion questions that we will distribute to the class. We will invite experts to Zoom into our class. These might include the author or a scientist mentioned in some of the articles.
