FRSEMR 22i: The Science of Sailing
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Explores basic physical principles through sailing. Sailboats are driven by the flow of wind across their sails. How does this generate a driving force, how is that force balanced, and how does it scale with the size of the sailboat? Studies the environment in which a sailboat operates, including the origin and variability of the wind, and the interaction of wind with water. Addresses questions of strategy and tactics faced by sailors on race courses.

FRSEMR 22j: Seeing by Spectroscopy
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Explores diverse topics and areas of science in which spectroscopy-the observation of energy emitted from a radiant source-plays a leading role. Concentrates on selected topics from chemistry, physics, astronomy, and atmospheric science. Emphasizes spectroscopy as the basis for remote sensing, choosing the grand topic of looking out-astronomical observations and seeing what is in the universe. Participants also will study (Nuclear) Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a model for looking in.

FRSEMR 22m: The Human Brain
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Investigates human brain function through famous neurological cases and what we have learned from them: Broca's patient "Tan" whose case led to the identification of one of the brain's language areas; Phineas Gage, whose injury to a specific brain region changed his personality dramatically; and patient HM who, after brain surgery, no longer could remember things for more than a few minutes. Readings will be from my book Creating Mind.

FRSEMR 22n: Slips of the Ear
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Little scientific attention has been paid to "slips of the ear", during which listeners perceive something that was not what was actually said. In this freshman seminar, students keep a weekly journal of naturally occurring slips of the ear that they observe in their daily lives, report on them in class, and learn the methods of phonetic and semantic analysis that enable making sense of why these slips happen when and to whom.

FRSEMR 22t: Why We Animals Sing (the ways we do)
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
We will become familiar with sounds and structures of the different kinds of acoustic animals, including birds, mammals, frogs and insects, and the different kinds of habitats in which they produce their songs and calls. We will learn to imitate other species by slowing down their calls and will explore the evolution and biology of music in humans. The capstone will be a performance in the Harvard Museum of Natural History at semester's end.

FRSEMR 22w: Environmental Epigenetics
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Why do plants flower in spring, but not in fall? Why don't identical twins get the same diseases? How do early life chemical exposures affect disease susceptibility or severity in adults? The course will explore the concepts, phenomena, and mechanisms of epigenetics. We will consider the implications of epigenetics for disease prevention. Finally, we will consider the evolutionary implications of the possibility that experiences of the parent can be molecularly transmitted to offspring.

FRSEMR 22z: Quantitative Methods in Public Policy Decisions
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
The seminar will apply scientifically quantitative methods to understanding a number of problems of general public concern, and provide insight into the roles of a scientist in public affairs by understanding diverse problems of the environment, pollution, and public health. The topics will be selected in the first two weeks from those that are topical at the time.

FRSEMR 23e: The Scientific Method: A Roadmap to Knowledge
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
This course is designed to provide a working knowledge of the scientific method, thereby fostering development of fundamental skills in logic and experimental design. The various forms of reasoning (deductive, inductive, abductive) will be discussed in context of the practice of science. Through critical analysis of historical and contemporary scientific reports, students will gain an understanding of creating appropriate hypotheses, of controlled experimentation, and of the breadth and limits of conclusions drawn from experimental data.

FRSEMR 23k: Insights from Narratives of Illness
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
A physician occupies a unique perch, regularly witnessing life's great mysteries; it is no wonder that narratives of illness have been of interest to both physician and non-physician writers. Examines and interrogates both literary and journalistic dimensions of medical writing from Tolstoy to Oliver Sacks as well as newspapers and periodicals. Studies not only mainstream medical journalists, but so called alternative medical writers such as Andrew Weil also. Work with different forms of medical writing.

FRSEMR 23l: Medicine, Law, and Ethics: An Introduction
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Explores medical, legal, and ethical aspects of medical care, with particular attention to medical decision-making at the beginning and end of life, participants in research on human subjects, human reproductive technologies, mental illness, and experimentation on animals. Historical background of present-day medical practices and relevant law to be discussed.
