You will engage with biological and environmental scientists in workshops and practical activities to investigate how and why organisms have adapted to survive and reproduce in different environments and the positive and negative impacts that this can have (with particular focus on Australia). By undertaking introductory experiments and activities in the field and laboratory you will develop your understanding of scientific methodologies. You will experience how traditional and modern approaches and technologies are complementary for answering important questions and for biologists and environmental scientists to make an impact.","title-full":"SEB123 Life and the Environment: Survival of the Fittest","title-short":"Life and the Environment: Survival of the Fittest","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=SEB123&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=SEB123","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=SEB123"},"year":2025,"years":[2025]}
