Analysis of organismal development, with special attention to cell-cell interactions, cells fate determination, gene regulation, signal transduction, pattern formation and terminal differentiation. The emphasis will be on molecular approaches to these problems. Prerequisite: Biology 285 or equivalent.

With lab. Lectures and readings on comparative biology and evolutionary relationships of mammalian groups. Lab involves detailed introduction to the New England mammalian fauna and study of selected representatives of other groups, emphasizing adaptation. Prerequisite: any life science course beyond the introductory level.

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?

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a set of infectious diseases arising from a diverse group

Traditional and molecular methods strategically applied to problems related to microbial biotechnology and environmental microbiology. Ranges from the diversity of microbial life to biodegradation. Seven general areas emphasized: 1) Statistical sampling and site characterization, 2) biomass determination, 3) enrichment techniques, 4) microbial activity measurements, 5) single cell detection in situ, 6) sequence and phylogenetic analysis followed by probe design, and 7) other modern techniques of environmental microbiology.

Further work in the preparation of stage characterizations. Classroom projects in roles and scenes. Prerequisites: THEATER 342, consent of instructor.

This class is designed for students who have both costuming and stitching experience and are interested in further exploring these skills. It is primarily a technical class focusing on cutting and stitching, dye techniques, and theatrical craft including millinery and/or mask making. Upon completion of this class, students will have completed a period garment, designed and executed a craft piece and compiled a mini portfolio of techniques and skills. This course is a prerequisite for Theater 593D (Draping and Patternmaking).
