The Biology Junior Seminar guides students through the process of writing a re-search proposal. Assignments focus on helping students strengthen their abilities to transfer information literacy, critical thinking, and effective communication skills developed through the core curriculum and major program to a specific project in the major. The Junior Seminar also helps students develop a clearer understanding of the expectations of faculty in the major with respect to their ability to apply critical thinking skills and to communicate effectively. Students have the opportunity to complete the proposed research in BIOL 490. Prerequisite: BIOL 270. 2 lecture/seminar hours.

This course will use the stress response to study the anatomy, physiology, and pa-thology of the neuroendocrine system. This course will cover topics such as endo-crine signaling, homeostasis versus allostasis, the anatomy and physiology of the endocrine system, hormones regulating basic biological functions, neuronal control of endocrine function, acute versus chronic stress, and diseases resulting from chronic stress. Prerequisites: BIOL 210 and 213. 3 lecture hours.

A parasite is any organism that uses another organism to its benefit. Organisms in every Kingdom have evolved to use this strategy. The most lethal human diseases in the world are caused by parasitic organisms. The lecture portion of this course will address the basic biology, life cycles, and epidemiology of parasites. The laboratory portion of the exercise will demonstrate how to identify parasitic infections in dif-ferent stages of their life cycles as well as two multi-week modules on the roles of genotype and environment on parasitism. Prerequisites: BIOL 113, 210 and 213, or permission of the instructor. 3 lecture and 3 laboratory hours.

This course will provide an in-depth investigation of the human use of plants for medicine, nutrition, and recreation. We will relate the anatomy, evolution, and ecology of plants to their physiological, cellular, and biochemical effects on humans. We will explore how plant-derived compounds cause immediate and long-term effects on human systems and behavior. This course is an interdisciplinary course that will bridge concepts of botany, pharmacology, cell biology, physiology, biochemistry, evolution and diversity, microbiology, immunology, genetics, and neuroscience. Botanical Pharmacology is a research-intensive course where students will apply the theory learned in class to student-designed research projects. Prerequisites: BIOL 113, 210, 213 or permission of the instructor. 3 lecture and 3 required laboratory hours.
