The course is intended for students that are interested in the entrepreneurial aspects of biotechnology. It will function as a mini accelerator designed to propel students with novel ideas towards commercialization. Lectures will be presented by the instructor and guest speakers. The first portion of the course will focus on technical aspects of biotechnology, recent breakthroughs in the literature, and identifying suitable medical indications and commercial outcomes.

This course covers operations and safety topics related to bicycle and pedestrian transportation. Bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure treatments, complete streets, and the impacts of such designs and practices on operations and safety are studied. In addition, this course includes topics related to multimodal signal control and level of service as well as the connection between bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure with physical activity and overall health outcomes. Discussion on how bicycling and walking are accounted for in decision-making is also included.

This course provides an introduction to genomics, bioinformatics and data sciences skills. Computer-based lab sessions will provide hands-on training in data science skills (Unix command line, Python, R, reproducible research, and cluster computing) and we will use them to learn bioinformatic methods related to gene expression, detecting variation, genome visualization, and critical statistical methods to understand large-scale datasets. The final project will be data analysis of the student's choice.

This course provides an introduction to methods in field ecology, with an emphasis on rigorous experimental design, hypothesis testing, data collection, introductory data analysis, and presenting results. The ability to pose clear questions, state hypotheses, and design appropriate experiments to test these hypotheses is of fundamental importance in all research disciplines; this course takes advantages of challenges in field ecology to address these essential topics.

What does it mean to be human self? Where do men and women ?fit? in the universe? What is the good life? What is evil? In this course we will discover how these questions are addressed in the Great Books of three civilizations of Asia: Persia, India and China. We will seek a deep engagement with Confucian, Taoist, Buddhist, Hindu, and Islamic-Sufi thinkers in a conversation between cultures and times about the fundamental questions of self and ethics.
