KurzbeschreibungIn this course, students will learn the basic skills required to find, analyze and evaluate the scientific evidence behind common health claims linking food, the intestinal microbiota and immune system function (e.g. Increased hygiene and allergic diseases).

[LO1] Find, critically interpret, evaluate and discuss primary literature
[LO2] Recognize situations where scientific integrity is compromised, both in scientific practice and scientific communication, and develop a framework for responding.
[LO3] Effectively communicate scientific evidence to a lay audience.
[LO4] Develop a nuanced and critical understanding of the interaction between diet, the microbiota and the immune system.
