HUMBIO 35: Your Body at Stanford: The Physiology of College
A lot happens at college besides studying. As a Stanford student, you will experience a new way of living and you will have to make decisions that can impact your health and your success at Stanford and beyond. The goal of this new class is to provide you with a foundation of knowledge that can optimize your health and performance throughout college. This is an applied physiology class that will be open to all students with or without science backgrounds. Think of it as a user manual for your body while you are at Stanford. The class will be partly lecture, partly discussion and partly activity based so you can learn by seeing, hearing, and doing. Topics will include your body's response to physical activity (or lack thereof), nutrition, sleep, stress, alcohol, caffeine, drugs, and relationships. Throughout the class, you will be made aware of campus resources related to these topics in case you ever need them. No prerequisites.

HUMBIO 82A: Qualitative Research Methodology
This course introduces students to core concepts and methods of qualitative research. Through a variety of hands-on learning activities, readings, field experiences, class lectures and discussions, students will explore the process and products of qualitative inquiry. This course is designed particularly to support Human Biology undergraduates in designing, proposing and preparing for Honors Thesis research; students may use the course assignments and office hours to support individual research needs (e.g., proposal design, IRB protocol, pilot work).

HUMBIO 112: Conservation Biology: A Latin American Perspective (BIO 144, BIO 234)
Principles and application of the science of preserving biological diversity. Conceptually, this course is designed to explore the major components relevant to the conservation of biodiversity, as exemplified by the Latin American region. The conceptual frameworks and principles, however, should be generally applicable, and provide insights for all regions of the world. All students will be expected to conduct a literature research exercise leading to a written report, addressing a topic of their choosing, derived from any of the themes discussed in class. Prerequisite:
BIO 101 or
BIO 43 or
HUMBIO 2A or
