Most classes...

This class...

Studying Biology: Start with a question. –For example: How? Why? When? Where? Etc? How do we get answers? –Strong Inference presents one method (article on webpage)

Cause of Peptic Ulcers: Overabundance of stomach acid due to Stress Diet Anxiety

Cause of Peptic Ulcers: Overabundance of stomach acid due to Stress Diet Anxiety Treatment: Antacids U.S. bought $4.4 billion in 1992 Tranquilizers

Dr. Barry Marshall

the bacteria H. pylori

H. pylori is the cause of 80% of peptic ulcers

The obvious or accepted answer was not the correct answer... Without alternative ideas, the answer would not have been found.

Knowledge is gained by eliminating incorrect ideas. Disproof is more reliable than proof. Strong Inference

Class webpage- No labs this week. First lab will next week, M 8/30 or Th 9/2. Strong Inference article on webpage for the next class. Need something to do this weekend? Critical Mass F (8/28) Or The Hot Sauce Festival Sun. (8/29)
