BIOL 361 Seminar: Revolutions in Evolution—Key Innovations that Shaped Life on Earth 6 credits
The history of Life on Earth is punctuated by pivotal transitions that fundamentally change the course of evolution from that point forward. We will explore the primary literature that addresses how these seminal evolutionary changes come about. Among the questions we will pursue are: how did life originate? What was the nature of the last universal common ancestor? How did eukaryotes evolve? How did meiosis arise, and why is meiotic sexual reproduction favored over asexual alternatives?

BIOL 372 Seminar: Structural Biology 6 credits
The ability to visualize macromolecules at atomic detail has significantly advanced our understanding of macromolecular structure and function. This course will provide an overview of fundamental experimental methodologies underlying structure determination, followed by primary literature-based discussions in which students will present and critically discuss classic foundational papers as well as examples from the current literature that have advanced our understanding of macromolecule structure and function.
