BIG BANG TO HUMANKIND
(Cross-listed as CHEM 6 and AST 6). An exploration of the origins of
the Universe, the formation of Earth and its structure, the chemistry of
life, the development of complex organisms, and the development of
modern humans including evidence for the various ideas presented, the
scientific method used by scientists, and how the community of
scientists evaluate the evidence. This course does not fulfill pre-med
requirements for a lab-based chemistry course.

PLANTS & HUMANITY
(Cross-listed as ENV 10.) Principles of botany accenting economic
aspects and multicultural implications of plants, their medicinal
products, crop potential, and biodiversity. Emphasis placed on global
aspects of this dynamic science, with selected topics on acid rain,
deforestation, biotechnology, and other applications. Also covered are
medicinal, poisonous, and psychoactive species, as well as nutritional
sources from seaweeds and mushrooms to mangos and durians. Three
lectures.

on molecular/biochemical approach to fundamentals of bioenergetics;
plasma membrane functions such as transport, secretion, and signal
transduction; organelle function and biogenesis; cell growth and
division. Three lectures.

EXPER IN MOLECULAR BIO
Similar to BIO 49, but investigating a series of laboratory problems
using modern techniques of biotechnology. Gene cloning, recombinant
protein expression, protein biochemistry, and immunochemistry are
emphasized for teaching state-of-the-art laboratory skills and for
reinforcing basic concepts of modern molecular biology. One laboratory
session per week plus one discussion period.
Prerequisites: Sophomore standing and BIO 13 or equivalent. Open
only to majors in biology, biochemistry, and chemical engineering.

INTRO TO RESEARCH
At least ten hours per week of guided laboratory research, generally
including one hour of consultation or seminar with research supervisor
and a paper. Details of individual project to be worked out with the
supervisor. Gives students an opportunity to participate in biological
research on the Tufts Medford/Somerville and Boston campuses. Does
not satisfy laboratory or course requirement for the major in biology.
May be counted as credit toward degree only. Students typically initiate
independent research in their sophomore or junior years. Pass/fail
grading.
Prerequisites: Permission of research mentor and subsequently course
coordinator.
