Brief Biographical Sketch:
Originally from Maryland, I did my undergraduate degree at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where I majored in biology and minored in math. Currently, I am in my third year of a PhD here at Yale, where I am studying bacterial-host interactions. Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)S3909: What is life? A discussion of edge cases in Splash Fall 2019 (Nov. 16, 2019)
Have you ever wondered what makes living things different from nonliving things? At what point does something stop being alive and become dead? This class will primarily focus on discussion of examples that reveal the ambiguity behind the seemingly obvious categories of alive and not alive. Examples will primarily be drawn from biology, especially microbiology.
The goal of this class is to allow students to think critically about the way categories are defined and what gets ignored during classification. Additionally, students will learn about some cool bacteria and viruses.
