*First Year Course only; first day attendance required* The study of life and the great questions of life can be pursued from many different disciplines and approaches. For many of us, the desire to study biology is sparked not only by the wonder and beauty that permeates all living beings, but often, also, a search for meaning. In this course, we will attempt to not only discuss and explore questions (e.g. “What is life?”) through the lens of biology, but also through the intersection of science & spirituality. Using the heart as a case study, we will discuss fundamental principles of biology. More specifically, we will explore how the heart gets energy (both physically and metaphorically) and how it interfaces with the rest of the body through nervous system and hormone action. In pursuit of gaining a better understanding of the intersection of science and spirituality, we will read and discuss papers written by scientists and theologians on science, spirituality and belief. Current research directed at understanding the effects of meditation on brain function, an area of research that has led to the incorporation of meditation as a complementary therapy in the practice of medicine, will also be discussed in this class. This course does not require a strong science background and is appropriate for students interested in pursuing either science or non-science majors. It is especially intended for students who are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of biology, as well as those eager to explore the practice of meditation and the bridge between science, spirituality, and belief.

| *First Year Course only; first day attendance required* “From so simple a beginning, endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.” So concluded Charles Darwin in The Origin of the Species. His final words are an apt description of this course, which focuses on the diversity of life on Earth and the evolutionary processes that influence this variety. We will track the evolution of life, from the simplest single-celled organisms to the varied flora and fauna of the modern world. We will draw upon recent findings from fields as diverse as molecular genetics, developmental biology, and paleontology to decipher the long and spectacular history of life on earth. The laboratory component of this course will include hands-on interaction with data, from our own DNA, to the fossil record, to living organisms. The class will include local field trips that highlight ancient and modern biodiversity. Students in this course should be ready to explore the evolution of life on earth, and can expect to participate in class discussions and work together on a larger project that will include a written report (with revisions) and an oral presentation. This course is required for biology majors.

*First day attendance required; ACTC Students may register on May 3rd with permission of the instructor* In this seminar students will learn about nucleic acids and the role they play in cancer formation at the molecular level. Students will critically analyze and evaluate current papers from primary scientific literature (reviews and research articles) that address a wide range of topics that relate genetic information and cancer. This course is designed for students interested in cancer biology and the methods utilized in molecular biology and biochemistry to study cellular dysfunction that leads to cancer formation. Classes will consist of student presentations, discussion, and a final project related to current scientific literature. Prerequisites: junior or senior standing, BIOL 260 (Genetics), BIOL 265 (Cell Biology), BIOL 255 (Cell Biology and Genetics Laboratory Methods, CHEM 111 (General Chemistry I) and CHEM 112 (General Chemistry II).

| *First day attendance required; ACTC Students may register on May 3rd with permission of the instructor* In this seminar, students will examine many of the ideas and theories that are currently defining the fields of ecology, conservation biology, and restoration ecology. This course is designed for a variety of students interested in environmental education, environmental issues, conservation, restoration, ecological research, and graduate school in any of those areas. Classes will consist of lectures, discussions, readings from the primary literature, student presentations, and an occasional field trip. Prerequisites: junior or senior standing, BIOL 270 (Biodiversity and Evolution) and BIOL 285 (Ecology) and at least one other upper-level field course with a lab. An ecology-oriented study abroad program will meet the upper class field course requirement.
