It was estimated that one third of cancer cases might be preventable by dietary modification. Food acts as medicine to prevent and treat disease. On the other hand, 1 in 6 Americans gets sick from foodborne illness each year. What we eat is central to our health. Let's find out how food impacts health!

What do you think of when you hear the word "shark"? Do you conjure an image of a mindless, grey fish with rows upon rows of teeth waiting to swallow you whole? Then this class is for you. Come learn about the wide diversity of sharks and their relatives, from the tiny pocket shark, who sports fashionable, glowing pockets, to the smalltooth sawfish, who has a chainsaw for a nose! We will discuss shark behavior, diet, and life history, as well as their importance in healthy ocean ecosystems. Together we'll use science to turn shark fictions into shark facts!

A companion lab for students enrolled in Res Econ 312. The lab covers creating and managing economic data using SAS and econometric estimation using SAS. The lab covers using the SAS data step to manipulate data, using SAS procedures to estimate econometric models and procedures in SAS to deal with common economic data problems.

This course will present proteins, nucleic acids, and oligosaccharides from the perspective of organic chemistry. Methods for their synthesis, purification, and chemical manipulations will be discussed, focusing on the application of chemical approaches to studying biological questions. For each topic, appropriate bioanalytical techniques will be emphasized.
