Biology 123: Perspectives in Biology:Scientific Literacy
3.00 Credits
Haverford College
NA (Cross-listed in Independent College Programs) K.Johnson An introduction to the biological literature through reading and discussion of articles from the current primary and popular literatures. Our texts will include the week's issues of Science, Nature and The Science Times. We will follow new breakthroughs and discoveries as they are reported to the scientific community and consider both evolution and revolution in scientific thought in real time from the viewpoint of the larger scientific community. One half semester. Enrollment limited to 30. Does not count toward the major.

Biology 124: Perspectives in Biology:Tropical Infectious Disease
3.00 Credits
Haverford College
NA (Cross-listed in African and Africana Studies) I.Okeke An examination of factors that contribute to the emergence and endemicity of selected infectious diseases in tropical developing countries, with a focus on diseases where transmission routes are unique to tropical developing countries or unknown. Examples will include waterborne, vaccine-preventable and zoonotic (animal transmitted) infections. Course participants will examine the microbiological, epidemiological and public health factors that control the emergence or persistence of infectious diseases in the tropics. One half semester. Enrollment limited to 30. Does not count toward the major.

Biology 125: Perspectives in Biology:Genetic Roil and the Royal Families
3.00 Credits
Haverford College
NA R.Fairman Family pedigrees reveal the inherited nature of a variety of human conditions and provide a powerful way to identify individual genes and to study the molecular consequences of mutation, particularly through the development of specific diseases, such as hemophilia and porphyria. The Royal Families of Europe offer well-documented family histories in which frequent intermarriages provide unparalleled and often tragic glimpses into both the genetic and molecular basis of disease and other aspects of the human condition. One half semester. Enrollment limited to 30. Does not count toward the major.

Biology 126: Passion,Proof and Persuasion:The Nature of Scientific Inquiry
3.00 Credits
Haverford College
NA (Cross-listed in Writing Program) J.Owen An exploration of the narratives underlying scientific discovery. Using select scientific memoirs and biographies as a guide, we will explore motivations that drive scientists and scientific breakthroughs. We will then analyze the work of a single biologist from multiple perspectives and examine how scientific controversy is portrayed in the media and in fiction. Finally, by evaluating the writings of scientists and journalists, we will work together to determine the most effective models of communication of scientific advances. Prerequisite: Open only to first-year students as assigned by the Director of College Writing. Does not count toward the major.

Biology 127: Perspectives in Biology:Human Genetic Diversity
3.00 Credits
Haverford College
NA P.Meneely A major scientific milestone marking the start of the 21st century was the publication of the human genome sequence. With the subsequent reading of many human genomes, comparisons reveal clues to the natural history of the human species. Starting with basic concepts of human genetics and topics such as natural selection, founder effects and genetic drift, the course will examine issues of human origins and migrations, diversity and the relationship between different populations and ethnic groups. One half semester. Enrollment limited to 30. Does not count toward the major.

Biology 128: Perspectives in Biology:How Do I Know Who I Am
3.00 Credits
Haverford College
NA J.Owen or J.Punt The capacity of the body to recognize its own cellular and molecular components underlies the functioning of a successful immune system capable of recognizing and appropriately handling invasion and neoplasm. Some emphasis will be placed on how this problem has been differentially solved by phylogentically disparate organisms. One half semester. Enrollment limited to 30. Does not count toward the major.

Biology 129: Perspectives in Biology:The Vexations of Vaccines
1.00 Credits
Haverford College
NA J.Punt Vaccines exploit the memory of our immune systems, specifically their ability to produce an overwhelming defensive response to the second exposure to a pathogen. First used as a treatment for smallpox by Chinese and Turks in the 15th century, vaccination is now the cornerstone of preventative health programs and has eradicated some diseases worldwide. In this course, we will discuss the history of vaccination, its biological and cellular bases, and the difficulties involved in generating vaccines for current scourges. Finally, we will critically evaluate the controversies surrounding vaccination in some communities. One half semester. Enrollment limited to 30. Does not count toward the major.

Haverford College
NA R.Hoang This course will explore the history and theory of evolution. Key concepts will be introduced as we consider a range of topics from Darwin, "selfish genes", the origin of man, the way "origins" are viewed in a variety of cultures, arguments for and against evolution, and some of the implications that evolutionary theory has for society. One half-semester. Enrollment limited to 30. Does not count toward the major.
