MICR320, Microbes in Health and Disease, will focus on the roles of microbes in health (human microbiome) and disease (pathogens). The molecular mechanisms of bacterial/viral virulence and the host response will be examined in order to develop an in depth understanding of the etiology of infectious diseases and the benefits derived from the human microbiome.
The course is divided into three phases that are focused on exploring basic concepts relating to the roles of microbes in health and disease. Phase 1 will cover fundamental concepts such as the role of the human microbiome in health, and how pathogen-specific virulence factors contribute to the etiology of infectious diseases. Phase 2 will focus on using this knowledge to study specific infectious disease cases and phase 3 will take a more global perspective, examining the epidemiology of infectious diseases, current issues with antimicrobial resistance, and the impact of newly emerging pathogens.
The exams will consist of short, medium and essay-type questions, aimed at problem solving and demonstration of assimilation and understanding of knowledge learned throughout the course. Select case study analyses that were submitted for assessment will be posted as part of the course materials and included in the final exam assessment.
Where luxe meets little, the 4 micro-cabins are nestled atop a hill on 2.5 acres with stunning mountain views and the most peaceful and private surroundings. It's peace, serenity and overall good vibes are what attracted us to this property.
Not familiar with a "micro" cabin? It's where luxe meets little. Our micro-cabins are tiny cabins but micro in size at 200 sq. feet. They are filled with the modern amenities and privacy you desire. Built by local Amish families, the cabins are super cozy along with a grassy-green area for your personal fire pit and a 120 sq. ft. private deck, picnic table for 2 and Adirondack chairs to watch the sun set; it's stunning to see. There is also a 4 burner gas grill with side burner for each cabin equipped with grilling utensils, a 12" saut pan and rubber spatula. Their size is perfect for a couple or solo-traveler.
Traveling with friends and family? You can also rent out all 4 cabins along with the FLX Schoolhouse and the FLX Farmhouse! In total, we can accommodate 18 guests if all of our properties are rented at the same time.
the location: the FLX Micro-Cabins have a perfect trifecta location: 1) they're peaceful & quiet as they sit on 2.5 acres surrounded by woods and farmland, 2) they're perched on top of a hill giving way to the most amazing sunsets against mountain backdrops, and 3) they're also conveniently located close to all of your favorite attractions. Your just 5 miles above the Seneca Lake Wine Trail and within 5 miles you will find everything you need from farm stands and wineries, to restaurants and a convenient store with gas and food. Want to head over to Ithaca or the Cayuga Lake wine trail, it's just a short 30-minute drive through farms, fields and the Finger Lakes State Forest.
the amenities: we provide bottled water, snacks and locally roasted organic coffee with each stay. You will also find shampoo, conditioner and body wash for your use. Freshly laundered linens and bathroom towels are provided.
technology: Working remotely? The micro-cabins have strong, fiber-optic wifi (each cabin has a private network too), and a smart TV with Netflix. You can stream your own channels as well.
the outdoor space: the cabins are perched upon a hill surrounded by farm lands. We find ourselves outside after a great day on the Seneca Lake wine trail. Whether you are in the mood to light a fire in the fire pit while you gaze at the stars (on a clear night, you can see the Milky Way), grill up some dinner or breakfast on your gas grill, or hang out on your private deck, the views are stunning. Firewood is provided on site for a fee.
Kristen Stewart is the queen of the grunge haircut. From mullets to wolf cuts, she plays around with the most directional styles, but still manages to never put a foot wrong. The latest tricky-to-pull-off look Kristen has conquered? The micro-fringe.
Stewart unveiled the new look on the opening night of the Sundance Film Festival (where she was given the Visionary Award), showing off new bangs that sat a couple of centimeters above her brows, and were styled with her signature lived-in texture, courtesy of her longtime hairstylist, Adir Abergel.
