The Little Stuff: Energy, Cells, and Genetics

In this course, we will explore the smaller side of biology: molecular biology. We’ll cover basic topics including cell biology and how cells can go “rogue” and turn into cancer, how energy from the sun is transferred to fuel our bodies, basics of genetics and inheritance, and genetic technologies. At the end of this course, we will discuss ethical and moral implications of several exciting and new genetic technologies.

One of the assignments included reading a NY Times article that required a subscription. Reading materials should be available to users without paywall.
