SCI1320 Paper Panacea: Part I with Laboratory

Paper technology is a nascent, ultra low-cost detection platform that has promise to address several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In this course, we'll learn (or re-learn!) the chemistry and material science foundations that make this technology work. This will happen through weekly laboratory experiments; about mid-course we will design a class project to advance paper technology together. The course is a means for people to learn: Foundational chemistry and materials science; Collaboration and Innovation; Laboratory skills and Self-directed and Team-based learning skills.
