Description:

In this age of information, it is easy to be overwhelmed by the barrage of reports about familiar and exotic diseases, promising advertisements for dubious treatments, and contradictory opinions on the ethics and efficacy of new health technologies. To help students critically evaluate this material, this course examines how the human body and select diseases operate and how our efforts to control or cure our bodies work (or fail). The course also examines how treatments are tested, how news about health is reported, and how human activities influence the incidence and spread of diseases.
