BIO 35N: Water: From Cadillac Deserts to Plant Physiology

Water is an essential ingredient for life. While the Mediterranean climate of California draws immigrants and tourists to our mild dry climate, infrequent rain and prized water rights have led to a tumultuous history behind how water is currently distributed. In this freshman seminar we will discuss water in California from multiple perspectives that span weather, history, art and plant physiology. The implications of climate change on agriculture and the Californian economy and lifestyle will also be discussed.

BIO 375: Field Ecology & Conservation

This course is based on question-driven research in the field, addressing both conceptual frameworks and methodological aspects of evolutionary ecology and conservation biology. It consists of faculty-led research projects and student independent projects. The field part takes place in a tropical rain forest research station in Mexico September 5-15, 2014. The field component is followed by sessions on campus, where the research data are analyzed, discussed and prepared as scientific papers. The training includes presentations of the papers in a mini-symposium organized as a professional meeting.

BIO 37N: Green Revolution and Plant Biotechnology

Feeding ever-growing populations is a constant challenge to mankind. In the second half of the 20th century, the breeding of improved varieties combined with the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides led to crop yield increases labeled the Green Revolution. Modern technologies in genetic engineering are expected to bring the second green revolution. Meeting the current and future global food needs without further damaging the fragile environment requires innovative effort from scientists and the society.

BIO 120: Bacteria in Health and Disease (MI 120)

Enrollment limited to junior and senior undergraduates, graduate students and medical students. Introduces students to the bacteria that live in and on humans and, in some cases, can cause disease and sometimes death. Topics include the biology of the interaction of the simple microbe with complex human biology and the factors that determine whether or not we coexist relatively peacefully, suffer from overt disease, or succumb to the bacterial onslaught.
