FRSEMR 25i: On the Witness Stand: Scientific Evidence in the American Courts
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Scientific evidence serves as a powerful witness in the courts. This seminar focuses on social, historical and theoretical problems in the interaction of law and science. The course coverage includes scientific evidence such as x-rays, fingerprinting, ballistics, lie detectors and DNA. Particularly, the seminar investigates the legal strategies used to demarcate pseudo-science from legitimate science, to establish expertise and legitimize both scientific and legal authority. In turn, the seminar considers recent proposals for reform.

FRSEMR 25n: Understanding Psychological Development, Disorder and Treatment: Learning through Literature and Research
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Deepens understanding of human development and how individuals cope with serious emotional or social difficulties (neglect, bipolar disorder, autism, depression). We will use multiple perspectives: medical texts that provide practical knowledge, narrative readings to understand how patients experience the meaning of illness, speaking with patients about their experiences, and portrayals of development-related mental illness in the press. Examines the fundamental need for tenderness and making meaning, the resourcefulness required for resiliency and the context of vulnerability.

FRSEMR 25t: AIDS in Africa
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
HIV/AIDS has infected or killed more than sixty million people, and no vaccine is expected within five to ten years. About two-thirds of current infections are in ten percent of the world's population in sub-Saharan Africa, where few patients receive life-saving treatment. Explores dimensions of AIDS in Africa including the evolution and epidemiology of HIV, the pathobiology of AIDS, prevention of infection, and treatment of disease. Encourages multidisciplinary approaches, using country-specific illustrations of successful interventions.

FRSEMR 25u: The Atomic Nucleus on the World Stage
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
In 1939 realization that atomic nuclei can undergo fission arrived as a surprise. Traces some of the history leading to understanding of the properties of nuclei and their constituents. Studies wartime project that developed both nuclear power sources and weapons; readings supplemented by instructor's own recollections of this project. Investigates formidable problems posed by control of nuclear weapons, development of nuclear reactors, and hope that thermonuclear reactions may provide an abundant source of clean energy.

4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Explores philosophical and legal bases of the concept of individual responsibility as applied in the criminal justice system. Examines how forensic mental health professionals assess an individual's mental state at time of an alleged criminal act, the legal standards applied, and the social and political forces that help shape the legal decision. Considers the insanity defense; examines modern concepts of the biological basis of behavioral disorders and their relationship to existing standards of criminal responsibility.

FRSEMR 25z: Stress and Disease (Biobehavioral Aspects of Health and Disease)
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
This seminar on biobehavioral bases of health and disease focuses on the interaction of injurious or infectious agents and the physical and social environment in the development and maintenance of stress-related disorders. What factors are stressful for given individuals? What are the pathophysiological and/or behavioral pathways to disease? Why is a particular body organ system the target of stress? What psychological, social, and economic factors influence cognitive, affective/physiological, and behavioral responses to disease?

FRSEMR 26j: The Universe's Hidden Dimensions
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Based loosely on book, Warped Passages, considers revolutionary developments in Physics in early 20th century: quantum mechanics and general relativity; investigates key concepts which separated these developments from the physical theories which previously existed. Topics: particle physics, supersymmetry, string theory, and theories of extra dimensions of space. We will consider the motivations underlying these theories, their current status, and how we might hope to test some of the underlying ideas in the near future.

FRSEMR 26s: Mathematical Structures and Godel's Completeness Theorem
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Mathematics is about structures. Some examples of structures are: the integers, the real numbers, and Euclidian plane geometry. Model theory, a branch of mathematical logic, provides a useful definition of structure. Godel's completeness theorem shows how logically consistent definitions imply the existence of arbitrary mathematical structures. Model theory is applicable to problems that arise in algebra. An example is: the elementary theory of the real numbers is decidable.
