Introduction to Physics in Living Systems Laboratory IV: Electricity, Magnetism, and Radiation

Undergraduate

MB&B/ PHYS 1240L is a half-credit, half-semester lab course that introduces physics in the life sciences. All the labs in this series are inquiry-based labs that focus experimental design and practicing lab skills common to many biology and physics research labs. 1240L specifically introduces students to electricity, magnetism, and optics in life science research. Some topics include diffraction, microscopy, and electrophoresis. Students taking 1240L will also get practice giving short scientific talks. For students choosing to major in MB&B, this course may be used to fulfill the MB&B requirement for Practical Skills in physics. There are no prerequisites to this 0.5 credit class and is often taken during the same semester as another lab in the 1200 series. Priority is given to first-year students looking to fulfill medical school application requirements and students seeking to join research labs at Yale. SC 0 Course cr HTBA
