BI 110 - Biology in Modern Life

Credits: 3

Designed to introduce students to the essential concepts of biology and their applications in contemporary society. The course explores how biology shapes our daily lives, from the food we eat to the medicines we take, and from the ecosystems we live in, to the technologies we use. 

Students will learn about the basics of cell biology, genetics, evolution, and ecology, as well as the scientific method and the role of science in society. The course will also focus deeply on one contemporary topic such as biotechnology, the biology of cancer, or the biology of climate change. 

Through lectures, discussions, readings, and hands-on activities, students will gain a deeper understanding of fundamental concepts, biological interrelationships, and how science can be used to solve contemporary problems. Students will be able to apply their knowledge of biology to critically evaluate scientific information and make informed decisions about their own health and the environment around them.
