Description
Reflects on the teaching of a two-instructor, interdisciplinary course in literature and molecular biology designed for undergraduate general education, emphasizing changes brought about by COVID-19 in the course's design, assignments, and subtending models. Includes comments on uses of PF in the course, Truth as it expresses a perspective different from scientific truth, and the implications of regarding the reading and teaching of Chaucer as related to biological "de-extinction."
