Life Sciences 1a, “An Integrated Introduction to the Life Sciences: Chemistry, Molecular Biology, and Cell Biology”—the new introductory life sciences course offered this fall—represents a glimpse of what introductory lecture courses at Harvard and nationwide may look like in coming years...
...truly set a new national paradigm,” said Senior Lecturer on Molecular and Cellular Biology Robert A. Lue, one of the course’s four instructors and a member of the group that devised the course last year. “I could imagine that introductory courses will be very different [in a few years time]. I think we can really rebuild the large course...
Nearly 500 students broke interdisciplinary ground this semester as part of Life Sciences 1a, “An Integrated Introduction to the Life Sciences: Chemistry, Molecular Biology, and Cell Biology.”The course, which ran for the first time this fall and is the first of its kind at any university, was months in the making and presents biology and chemistry in the context of modern medical applications. Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology David R. Liu ’94, one of the class’s four professors, writes in an e-mail that he hopes...
...latest addition to that budding pharmacopoeia is a narcolepsy drug called modafinil that was approved two years ago to help shift workers stay alert. And there's a lot more in the pipeline. Neurologists have made rapid progress unraveling the molecular underpinnings of memory and attention, and drug companies are testing dozens of compounds derived from those discoveries to treat cognitive ailments like Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia...
...into the Science Center about 12 minutes late. I faced the world—and my early morning Life Sciences 1a lecture—only reluctantly on that cold December morning. As I set foot in the lecture hall, stale coffee in hand, I saw Herschel Smith Professor of Molecular Genetics Andrew W. Murray taking a stand against the chronic tardiness of students like me. I was surprised; while an unsettlingly high proportion of students arrive late (if at all) to their early morning classes, most professors grin and bear it. But not Prof. Murray...
