GENERAL BIOTECHNOLOGY
This course will provide you with a broad understanding of biology, including industrial, agricultural and medical applications in just 2 days!
Good Biotechnology is absolutely necessary to help solve the major challenges faced by our generation and the generations to come. But who is to decide what good may mean? And what if it were (also) you? The general biotech course demystifies the complex sciences that make up biotechnology and provides all non-biologists with the basic tools to question experts and societal choices.
