CHEM 24N: Nutrition and History
Preference to freshmen. Intended to broaden the introductory chemistry experience. The biochemical basis of historically important nutritional deficiencies (vitamins, minerals, starvation, metabolic variants that predispose to disease) and environmental toxins is related to physiological action and the sociological, political, and economic consequences of its effect on human populations. Prerequisite: high school chemistry. Recommended: 31A,B, or 31X, or 33.

CHEM 25N: Science in the News
Preference to freshmen. Possible topics include: diseases such as avian flu, HIV, and malaria; environmental issues such as climate change, atmospheric pollution, and human population; energy sources in the future; evolution; stem cell research; nanotechnology; and drug development. Focus is on the scientific basis for these topics as a basis for intelligent discussion of societal and political implications. Sources include the popular media and scientific media for the nonspecialist, especially those available on the web.

CHEM 25Q: Science-in-Theatre: A New Genre? (TAPS 25Q)
Preference to sophomores. Contrasts through selected "science-in-theatre" plays what Theatre can do for science compared to what Science occasionally does for the theatre as well as emphasizing in that regard some unique features of the theatre compared to films. Illustrates why more intellectually challenging "science-in-theatre" plays have appeared in recent times where scientific behavior and scientists are presented accurately rather than just as Frankensteins, Strangeloves or nerds. Students engage in a playwriting experiment.
