BIO 112: Human Physiology (HUMBIO 133)

Human physiology will be examined by organ systems: cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, gastrointestinal and endocrine. Molecular and cell biology and signaling principles that underlie organ development, pathophysiology and opportunities for regenerative medicine are discussed, as well as integrative control mechanisms and fetal development. Prerequisite: HUMBIO3A or HUMBIO4A or BIO83 or BIO84 orBIO86 or consent of instructor.
Terms: Win | Units: 4 | UG Reqs: GER: DB-NatSci, WAY-SMA

BIO 113: Fundamentals of Molecular Evolution (BIO 244)

The inference of key molecular evolutionary processes from DNA and protein sequences. Topics include random genetic drift, coalescent models, effects and tests of natural selection, combined effects of linkage and natural selection, codon bias and genome evolution. Prerequisites: Biology core or BIO 82, 85 or graduate standing in any department, and consent of instructor.
Terms: Win | Units: 4 | UG Reqs: GER: DB-NatSci

BIO 114A: bioBUDS: Building Up Developing Scientists

BUDS is a student-centered and community-focused program which aims to connect all undergrads - but especially those from FLI and historically excluded backgrounds - to resources, skills, and potential mentors in the biosciences and beyond while fostering a vibrant peer community. We offer weekly grad student-led workshops covering a broad range of biological topics and special topic sessions (workshops, panels, community discussions). The Fall quarter session emphasizes growth as a scientist, seeking opportunities, and getting started in research. All sessions are open to all students regardless of course enrollment, department affiliation, experience-level, or field. For more information, visit our website: https://biobuds.stanford.edu.

BIO 114B: bioBUDS: Building Up Developing Scientists

BUDS is a student-centered and community-focused program that aims to connect all undergrads - but especially those from FLI and historically excluded backgrounds - to resources, skills, and potential mentors in the biosciences and beyond while fostering a vibrant peer community. We offer weekly grad student-led workshops covering a broad range of biological topics and special topic sessions (workshops, panels, community discussions). The Winter quarter session emphasizes biology at the intersection of other sciences and humanities. All sessions are open to all students regardless of course enrollment, department affiliation, experience level, or field. Visit our website here: https://biobuds.stanford.edu.

BIO 114C: bioBUDS: Research Program

This course serves as a companion and continuation for the Fall and Winter sessions of bioBUDS ( BIO 114A and 114B). If demand exceeds slots available, preference will be given to students who participated in the Fall and/or Winter sessions. This program will pair participating students with a lab/research mentor based on student-ranked preferences. Students will work on a research project with their mentor for the duration of the quarter. Enrollment in BIO114C is required to participate in the internship, and class sessions will focus on tracking internship progress and evaluating mentorship relationships. For information, visit our website: https://biobuds.stanford.edu. An application link will be available on our website in early February.

BIO 115: The Hidden Kingdom - Evolution, Ecology and Diversity of Fungi (BIO 239)

Fungi are critical, yet often hidden, components of the biosphere. They regulate decomposition, are primary partners in plant symbiosis and strongly impact agriculture and economics. Students will explore the fascinating world of fungal biology, ecology and evolution via lecture, lab, field exercises and Saturday field trips that will provide traditional and molecular experiences in the collection, analysis and industrial use of diverse fungi. Students will chose an environmental niche, collect and identify resident fungi, and hypothesize about their community relationship. Prerequisite: BIO 81, 85 recommended.
Terms: Win | Units: 4 | UG Reqs: WAY-SMA

BIO 117: Biology and Global Change (EARTHSYS 111, EARTHSYS 217, ESS 111)

The biological causes and consequences of anthropogenic and natural changes in the atmosphere, oceans, and terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. Topics: glacial cycles and marine circulation, greenhouse gases and climate change, tropical deforestation and species extinctions, and human population growth and resource use. Prerequisite: Biology or Human Biology core or BIO 81 or graduate standing.
Terms: Win | Units: 4 | UG Reqs: GER: DB-NatSci, WAY-SMA

BIO 120: Integrative and Experimental Microbiology (BIO 220)

To survive, grow, and reproduce, organisms coordinate different molecular processes so they can use available resources and cope with environmental conditions. This laboratory course explores molecular and cellular integration in bacteria. Experiments include the quantification of growth, mutational screens and mutant analysis, gene cloning, and measuring/engineering gene-expression. These "wet lab" approaches will be combined with "dry lab" approaches to analyze experimental findings and explore further the link between molecular processes, cell-physiology, and ecology. Prerequisite: MATH 51 or MATH 19, 20,21. Recommended: microbiology (e.g. BIO 62 or 162) and molecular biology/biochemistry/genetics courses (e.g. BIO 82 or 83). Enrollment via Application: https://forms.gle/etRHRhhaRJxUMyNW9
Terms: Spr | Units: 3 | Repeatable 1 times (up to 3 units total)

BIO 121: Ornithology (BIO 221)

Advanced undergraduate survey of ornithology, introducing students to the biology of birds and giving them to tools to use birds as model systems for research. Topics will include avian evolution, physiology, adaptations, behavior, and ecology. Focus throughout on identification of California birds and applications to current bird conservation issues. Course will include lectures and a field component which will expose students to standard avian research techniques such as mistnetting, banding, and point count surveys. Prerequisite: BIO 81 or BIO 105A/B or instructor approval.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3

BIO 123: Catalyzing Solutions for a Sustainable Ocean: Learning with Local Communities (OCEANS 123H, OCEANS 223H)

The ocean is impacted by overfishing, plastic pollution, climate change and acidification, which are leading to the disruption of marine ecosystem functions and services critical for human wellbeing. Ocean mining, offshore wind farming, increasing shipping, land sea interactions and carbon sequestration are all posing a whole new set of unprecedented challenges and, at the same time, opportunities to solve the pressing problem humanity has to face. By leveraging the unique location of Hopkins Marine Station as a living laboratory in Monterey Bay, this course will provide a unique opportunity for students to learn through real world examples about the multifaceted nature of problems at the very core of ocean sustainability. Course taught in-person only at Hopkins Marine Station; for information on how to spend spring quarter in residence: https://hopkinsmarinestation.stanford.edu/undergraduate-studies/spring-courses-23-24 (Individual course registration also permitted.) Depending on enrollment numbers, a weekly shuttle to Hopkins or mileage reimbursements for qualifying carpools will be provided; terms and conditions apply.
