This course will explore how concepts of population ecology and evolutionary biology can be used to draw inferences about ecological and evolutionary processes and inform the conservation and management of natural populations, with an emphasis on practical applications. Students will get hands-on training on common research methods in population biology and conservation genomics. The required lab component will give students an opportunity to analyze real-world data. Major topics will include species distribution and abundance models, population growth models, and population genetic methods used in conservation.
BIOL 420-1 Advanced Cell Biology Michael Welte
An advanced course focused on a mechanistic understanding of cellular organization. This course goes deep rather than broad, focusing on select topics in cell biology and analyzing the experimental evidence that our current understanding is based on. This course relies heavily on the primary research literature and the design and interpretation of experiments. We also practice skills essential for a professional cell biologist, including science communication and developing original research proposals.
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
