Title	Bioethics
Professor	Michael Tibbetts/Daniel Berthold-Bond
Schedule	Mon Wed 1:30 pm - 2:50 pm OLIN 203

This course is an interdisciplinary approach to issues in bioethics, exploring scientific, social, and ethical aspects of topics of contemporary concern. This semester the focus will be on three such topics of current debate: the genome project, cloning, and the development and use of transgenic plants. Readings will cover both theoretical literature as well as case studies. The course is team-taught by a member of the philosophy program and a member of the biology program.

Title	Molecular Biology
Professor	Michael Tibbetts
Schedule	Mon Th 9:00 am - 10:20 am HEG 201 LAB: Mon 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm Rose 306

This course will explore molecular aspects of cellular function at an advanced level. Topics will include the structure and function of the cell membrane, cytoskeleton, and cell organelles. Techniques used in the study of modern cell biology will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on current literature in the field.

Prerequisites: Biology 201 and Chemistry 201-202.

Title	Seminar in Biological Research
Professor	Staff
Schedule	Tu 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm HEG 102

Juniors and seniors concentrating in biology are strongly urged to take this two-credit course. Each senior enrolled in the course presents his or her research in progress or significant material from the current literature at one session. Each junior presents an interesting paper of his or her choice from the literature. The purpose of the seminar is to encourage juniors to become familiar with both the biological literature and research undertaken in the program.
