    What are monsters if not what we fear and don't understand?: 12

    We fear monsters, and so we study them. We want to know where they are. An exploration of how monsters are part of advancing biology. Monsters are useful.


    Mistaken identities

    Sasquatch, unicorns, sea monsters, and identifying killer mushrooms. Furthermore, identifying things everywhere.

    They're coming!

    Zombies, vampires, diseases we know something about, and disintegrating sea stars (disease we don't understand). Aliens from outer space and aliens around the planet.

    So most of the classtime is reading and discussion, with some other media. Probably also a 'sustainability hike' to identify local invasives. You'll explore how creative use of aliens and monsters has advanced science. And you will write a paper for evaluation, following papers and discussion and your own interests. All papers are public on this wiki as you write and develop. You can even blog about it.
