Courses taught by Professor Lindgren

Academic Year 2026-2027

Fall 2026: 

BIO 150: Introduction to Biological Inquiry: The Language of Neurons (Lecture and Lab)

In this course students will actively learn how biologists study the nervous system. Specifically, students will work as neuroscientists for a semester and will attempt to learn something novel about how nerve cells communicate with one another at chemical synapses. Students will present their findings at the end of the semester via both oral and written presentations. Papers resulting from a substantial independent project will be published in the class journal, Pioneering Neuroscience: The Grinnell Journal of Neurophysiology.
