Frontiers of Biomedical Engineering with Professor W. Mark Saltzman
The course covers basic concepts of biomedical engineering and their connection with the spectrum of human activity. It serves as an introduction to the fundamental science and engineering on which biomedical engineering is based. Case studies of drugs and medical products illustrate the product development-product testing cycle, patent protection, and FDA approval. It is designed for science and non-science majors.
Frontiers and Controversies in Astrophysics with Professor Charles Bailyn
This course focuses on three particularly interesting areas of astronomy that are advancing very rapidly: Extra-Solar Planets, Black Holes, and Dark Energy. Particular attention is paid to current projects that promise to improve our understanding significantly over the next few years. The course explores not just what is known, but what is currently not known, and how astronomers are going about trying to find out.

Global Warming: Communicating Science Through Film
Gary Borisy, director, Marine Biological Laboratory
Andy Revkin, environmental corres, New York Times
Naomi Oreskes, professor, history, UC San Diego
Scott Doney, sr. scientist, marine chemistry, WHOI
Randy Olsen, filmmaker
As nations struggle to confront the issue of Global Warming and the response required to change the human impact on the planet, this panel of experts is helping to shape the dialogue. Join this distinguished panel, a timely and unique gathering of experts, as they discuss where we are now and what we need to do to move forward. Gary Borisy, CEO and Director of the Marine Biological Laboratory moderates the discussion. Panelists include: Andy Revkin, a New York Times environmental reporter who has covered climate change and climate politics for 20 years; Naomi Oreskes, a Professor in the Department of History at UC San Diego whose research focuses on the historical development of scientific knowledge, methods and practices in the earth and environmental sciences; Scott Doney, a senior scientist in the Department of Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry at WHOI, where he studies ocean acidification and models carbon in the climate; and mockumentary filmmaker Randy Olsen.
