Deepen your understanding of chemical biology from an evolutionary perspective by investigating the mechanisms behind Huntington’s Disease.

No previous knowledge required. Ever wondered what happens behind the scenes while your doctor decides on a diagnosis from your X-ray? This class explores the use of X-rays in the medical field and is applicable to anyone with an interest in science, medicine, or just a general desire to learn something new! Students will leave this class with a general knowledge of how X-ray machines work and what types of materials (tissue, fluid, bone, metal) they see when they view X-rays at their doctor’s office. We will be going through real-life examples of X-rays taken of wildlife patients at the New England Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. By the end of this class, students will be prepared to read X-rays and postulate about the health status of the patient.
