The objective of the International Genetically Engineered Machines competition is to design and build an engineered biological system using DNA technologies over the course of the summer. iGEM projects aim to solve local, real-world problems, for example by engineering bacteria that can break down plastic waste. You will design your own experiments, construct new genetic parts, and validate the constructs using new characterization assays. In addition to the wet-lab research, iGEM involves mathematical modeling to predict the behavior and guide the design of the new biological parts and characterization assays. Students also design, construct, characterize, and improve their own piece of hardware that will work together with the designed biological organism. The policy and practice component addresses the social, legal, and ethical issues of the project. iGEM is multi-disciplinary, highly collaborative, and student-managed. You will travel to Boston and interact with 300 universities from all over the world.

Drawing on the concepts of discourse community and rhetorical genre analysis (e.g., Bazerman, Berkenhotter & Huckin, Swales), this course investigates ways of understanding the choices writers make when communicating about the natural, social, or applied sciences, with the goal of better understanding how to read and write as an ‘insider’ in your chosen discipline. You will develop a technical vocabulary and set of skills that allow you to describe recurring patterns and writer choices within those patterns. Using these tools, and talking to experts in your chosen discipline(s), you will investigate disciplinary and interdisciplinary boundaries, how writers convey meaning in different situations, and why they make the writing choices they do. Through a final research project of your choice, you will practice using what you have learned to communicate the results of your own research. This course is especially suitable for dual-major students, or those heading to graduate or health professions schools. Courses in the WRTG 27X series may not be taken more than once for credit.

In this course, we will explore both the science of poisonous substances and their impact on human history and culture. What is a poison? Where can poisons be found in nature? Who discovered them, and how? Focusing on small molecule poisons, we will study the chemical and biochemical mechanisms underlying their toxicity and discuss how antidotes work. Through case studies, we will examine the wide variety of uses people have found for these compounds, from committing crimes to practicing medicine. Source materials will include historical, literary, and scientific texts, recent essays, and popular culture. Prerequisite: completion of two semesters of organic chemistry.

The objective of the International Genetically Engineered Machines competition is to design and build an engineered biological system using DNA technologies over the course of the summer. iGEM projects aim to solve local, real-world problems, for example by engineering bacteria that can break down plastic waste. You will design your own experiments, construct new genetic parts, and validate the constructs using new characterization assays. In addition to the wet-lab research, iGEM involves mathematical modeling to predict the behavior and guide the design of the new biological parts and characterization assays. Students also design, construct, characterize, and improve their own piece of hardware that will work together with the designed biological organism. The policy and practice component addresses the social, legal, and ethical issues of the project. iGEM is multi-disciplinary, highly collaborative, and student-managed. You will travel to Boston and interact with 300 universities from all over the world. |

Drawing on the concepts of discourse community and rhetorical genre analysis (e.g., Bazerman, Berkenhotter & Huckin, Swales), this course investigates ways of understanding the choices writers make when communicating about the natural, social, or applied sciences, with the goal of better understanding how to read and write as an ‘insider’ in your chosen discipline. You will develop a technical vocabulary and set of skills that allow you to describe recurring patterns and writer choices within those patterns. Using these tools, and talking to experts in your chosen discipline(s), you will investigate disciplinary and interdisciplinary boundaries, how writers convey meaning in different situations, and why they make the writing choices they do. Through a final research project of your choice, you will practice using what you have learned to communicate the results of your own research. This course is especially suitable for dual-major students, or those heading to graduate or health professions schools. Courses in the WRTG 27X series may not be taken more than once for credit. |

In this course, we will explore both the science of poisonous substances and their impact on human history and culture. What is a poison? Where can poisons be found in nature? Who discovered them, and how? Focusing on small molecule poisons, we will study the chemical and biochemical mechanisms underlying their toxicity and discuss how antidotes work. Through case studies, we will examine the wide variety of uses people have found for these compounds, from committing crimes to practicing medicine. Source materials will include historical, literary, and scientific texts, recent essays, and popular culture. Prerequisite: completion of two semesters of organic chemistry. |
