  • BISC 104: Science or Science Fiction

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    K niger This course will examine the scientific facts behind phenomena portrayed in a variety of Hollywood and foreign movies. We will cover top-ics ranging from the definition and recreation of life, genetics, behavior to evolution and environmental issues. The course will include weekly screenings of movies outside of class time as well as lectures, assigned readings and discussions. While obtaining an introduction to key concepts in biology, students will also explore misconceptions about science and scientists that are perpetuated by these movies. Prerequisite: Fulfillment of the basic skills component of the Quantitative Reasoning requirement. Preference given to first-year students and sophomores.

  • BISC 105: Stem Cells:A New Frontier in Biomedicine

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    O'Donnell The exciting area of stem cell research has led to many recent discoveries. As researchers have learned more about the properties of these amazing cells, many potential biomedical applications have been envisioned. In this course, we will focus on understanding the unique biological properties of stem cells, and how these cells might lead to novel patient therapies. Questions to be addressed include: How were stem cells discovered Where do stem cells come from, and what are stem cell lines What are the similarities and differences between embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, and recently discovered ?induced pluripotent stem cells? We will also discuss the bioethi-cal issues and scientific controversies associated with recent stem cell discoveries. Promising areas of current research will be described . Prerequisite: Fulfillment of the basic skills component of the Quantitative Reasoning requirement. Preference given to first-year students and sophomores.
