BIO 161: Organismal Biology Lab

This laboratory is a genuine research experience course where students contribute to original research in a field of organismal biology. The course consists of two modules: In the first module, students will perform a drug screen for novel compounds that influence animal behavior by altering nervous system function. In the second module, students will explore how the microbiome of animals is important for health and social interactions. Students work collaboratively to collect and analyze data and communicate their findings through oral and written formats.

BIO 179: The Science & Practice of Valuing Nature for a Better World (BIO 279, EARTHSYS 179, EARTHSYS 279)

This course explores the science of valuing nature, through two interwoven pathways. One is biophysical, focused on human dependence and impacts on Earth's life-support systems. If well managed, lands, waters, and biodiversity yield a flow of vital benefits that sustain and fulfill human life. We will develop a framework and practical tools for quantifying this stream of benefits from nature to people. The second pathway is social, economic, and philosophical, weaving through concepts of well-being, human development, and conservation and the ethics and effects of their pursuit. We will look back, ahead into the future, and inward, taking a global view and considering diverse cultural perspectives. Our discussions will be situated in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, movements for racial justice and socioeconomic equity, and efforts to enable people and nature to thrive in cities and countries worldwide. The course is intended for diverse, advanced students, with interests in resea more »

The course is intended for diverse, advanced students, with interests in research and in moving from science to action for a more just and sustainable world. Prerequisite: Basic to intermediate GIS (Geographic Information Systems) skills are necessary. We will help with these, but not teach GIS specifically in class. Basic skills include, for example: working with raster, vector and tabular data; loading rasters, shapefiles, and tables into a GIS; changing the symbology of rasters and shapefiles in your chosen GIS; editing raster and shapefile attribute tables; understanding coordinate systems and how to re-project layers; looking at individual raster cell values; and performing basic raster math.

BIO 188: Systems Biology: Principles of Cell Signaling (BIO 288, CSB 288)

The systems biology set of courses aims to give students an overview of how cells process information to build and replicate themselves as well as respond to extracellular signals and environmental changes. The techniques used and discussed in detail are those currently utilized in modern quantitative cell biology. This course in the systems biology set aims to provide an understanding of the principles of cell signaling as applied to natural and synthetic biological circuits. As a primary example of naturally occurring signaling circuits, we will consider in detail the pathway responsible for controlling cell division in response to intra- and extra-cellular signals. The class will cover classic and current techniques for the genetic analysis of the key regulatory circuits governing the control of cell division. Specific topics include tractable model organisms; growth control; and irreversible biochemical switches. The class will be based on a weekly lecture followed by the analysis of classic and current primary literature as well as basic concepts in nonlinear dynamics.

BIO 218: Visualizing Biomolecules (CHEM 287)

(This course is for graduate students only. ) Leveraging high-resolution structural techniques to visualize and understand the function and mechanisms of biological molecules, with an emphasis on proteins. The course covers the theory of modern x-ray diffraction and electron microscopy for macromolecules, provides hands-on experimentation with both techniques and presents case studies from the literature to highlight how these techniques can be leveraged to reveal the mechanisms of action of some of nature's most powerful catalysts.
