The goal of the course is to help the non-biologist better understand what is happening inside their own body and to become a better informed consumer of science and medicine. We will explore common diseases and treatments, new drug discovery efforts, and research into health and longevity. By the end of the course, students will have the tools and understanding to better evaluate medical products and claims and headlines about medical advances. Note that this course is currently being offered online only.
