This is a course for non-biology majors with two components, lecture and discussion section. We will explore biological principles at all levels of organization, from molecules, cells and organs to individuals, populations and the biosphere. Have you ever wondered how basilisk lizards can literally run on water? Why we don't yet have a vaccine against the HIV/AIDS virus? Why there is no rainforest in New England? How bacteria help the Gulf ecosystem recover after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill? We will explore these and other questions to better understand how the living world works. Assessment includes evening exams, quizzes and written assignments. (Gen.Ed. BS)
