MI 115B: The Vaccine Revolution

Advanced seminar. Human aspects of viral disease, focusing on recent discoveries in vaccine development and emerging infections. Journal club format: students choose articles from primary scientific literature, write formal summaries, and synthesize them into a literature review. Emphasis is on analysis, experimental design, and interpretation of data. Oral presentations. Enrollment limited to 8. Prerequisite: prior enrollment in MI 116, The Human Virosphere or consent of instructor required.
Terms: Spr | Units: 5-6
Instructors: Siegel, R. (PI)

MI 160: Climate Crisis Management

Ongoing climate change has precipitated a broad range of crises including extreme weather, fires, droughts, crop-failures, and emerging infections along with a broad range of health effects. Within recent years these events have become more frequent and more severe highlighting a critical need for crisis assessment and management. This seminar will focus on the principles involved in the effective preparation, prevention, mitigation, leadership, management, and recovery from these climate-driven disasters. We will emphasize the importance of resilience in organizations and teams. We will discuss how these principles may be generalized to other examples of crisis management. Class time will be devoted to didactic and Socratic interactions with experts, analysis of case studies including the experience of the Red Cross, simulation exercises, and field trips.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3
Instructors: Siegel, R. (PI)

MI 175: 42 Orders of Birds

This course focuses on the classification of birds at the taxonomic level of Bird Order. We will explore examples of all 42 orders of extant birds. This organizing principle will facilitate the examination of other key ornithology principles involving anatomy, physiology, behavior, distribution, ecology, evolution, history, culture, photography, and more. To help students master this material, the course will make use of student presentations and projects focusing on representative birds. The course will also include campus field trips and insights from local and national experts.

MI 260: Creative Visualization Studio

In this class, we will teach students to build small, physical explanations of their data for display and use as visual aids in person, at a poster or in a talk. We will use a range of media, including laser cutters, paper cutters, silk screening, CNC routing, 3D printing, jewelry making, embroidery, mold making, stop motion animation, or stained glass cutting. Classes will be split into workshop time¿for learning techniques and brainstorming¿and lab time, where students can work on individual projects. Students will be expected to complete 5 small visualization projects over the course of the quarter. Permission numbers are required to enroll. To obtain a permission number please email Professor David Schneider at dschneid@stanford.edu.
