Do you like shows like Grey’s Anatomy, House, or ER?  These shows use case studies to entertain and inform audiences.  In a typical case study, a mystery needs to be solved.  For example, a patient is ill, but the cause is not immediately noticeable.  Coming this year to the biology classroom is a new student area solely devoted to investigating case studies.  It has been named Kittiwake Korner after one of my favorite birds, the black-legged kittiwake.  Thanks to a generous donation of furniture, Kittiwake Korner is a cozy student retreat meant to mimic a coffeehouse style seating area.  Here students will solve medical mysteries as they pursue a greater understanding of biological concepts.  It’s going to be a great year of fun!
