Carl Zimmer: New York Times Science: AP Biology Lecture 

Thank you, Carl, for an amazing talk with my AP Biology students!
Carl Zimmer is an award-winning science writer and author. He writes for the New York Times and he has written 14 fantastic science books. Carl was generous enough to chat with our class about all things science and biology. The students researched ahead of time and crafted questions for the event - covering a range of topics, including: COVID-19, Mr. Zimmer's background and inspirations, science and history, DNA, Genetics, De-Extinction, Insects, Ethics, and much more!
