Field Biology Class

This semester, the Wilkes Honors College located on the Jupiter FAU campus, is offering BSC 4930: Field Biology and lab. This class gives students an opportunity to meet working biologists out in the environments they research. The class also prepares students to investigate and write their own research proposals needed for their senior thesis projects. The class is taught by Dr. James Wetterer. 

Here are some photos of a class trip to the Abacoa Greenway with guest biologist and Honors college professor Dr. Jon Moore. He was teaching the class the proper protocols for research, behaviors, morphology, etc. of the gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus). You can learn all about his research by going to his faculty page here.
