Stem Cell Decal
This course brings speakers from research and industry working on topics within regenerative biology, particularly stem cell science. It does not presume any background in biology, and is open to all students.
Many believe that the cures to most diseases lie in stem cell science and research, yet others fear repercussions that could forever alter our social conscience and morality. This class takes students on a journey inside the stem cell revolution, where scientists, researchers, policy-makers, and ethicists will challenge students to consider the societal, political, even spiritual implications of this rapidly developing frontier.
Coursework consists of reflections on lectures, simple quizzes, attendance, online discussion, and a presentation at the end of the course. Grading is lenient, and is meant to facilitate your active participation.
