Water is a fascinating substance that intrigues scientists from all historical ages and disciplines. It is essential for sustaining life on earth and represents ¾ of the human body. What are the intrinsic qualities that it has, and particular transformations it undergoes that make water a unique compound controlling many processes in engineering, chemistry, biology, ecology, nutrition, and even human behavior? This seminar will engage students in the exploration of science from an interdisciplinary standpoint. The discussions will focus on relevant topics that will make students question scientific knowledge, theoretical frameworks and ethical considerations while applying concepts to the study of water.
