Biological Rhythms

The mechanisms which generate endogenous daily, tidal, and annual oscillations in organisms will be considered at the level of physiology, genetics and molecular and cell biology. The synchronization of these rhythms by the physical environment and the use of the clock for photoperiodism and orientation will be studied. Assigned readings from original scientific literature. With Biology 494LI, this course satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BS-Biol majors.

Plant Cell Biology

This course will cover the cell biological aspects of several plant cellular processes, including cytokinesis, cell expansion, tip growth, cell-to-cell communication, and intracellular protein sorting. An emphasis will be made on experimental approaches used to understand these processes at the molecular level. A discussion of model organisms and cell types will be included.

Public Health Sciences Capston

The culminating experience of the Public Health Sciences Major, this course is designed for students to synthesize and integrate their learning from previous coursework, internship, and extra-curricular activities in the discipline. Course leads to a project, presentation, initiative, or research paper that is present at the Statewide Research Conference. Class also helps develop skills in teamwork, communication and leadership. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BS-PubHlth majors.
