COURSE DESCRIPTIONCOURSE DESCRIPTION“Many believe the cures to most diseases lie in stem cell research, while others fear its repercussions will irreversibly and negatively alter our social conscience for life. This class takes you on a journey inside the stem cell revolution, where scientists, policy-makers, and philosophers will challenge you to think about the social, political, and even spiritual implications of this uncharted scientific frontier and formulate your own position on stem cell research.”

Weekly reading quizzes Weekly reading quizzes
Read the articles in the reader that are assigned each week
Correctly answer 3 out of 5 questions right to pass a quiz and pass 7 out of 10 quizzes
Questions are multiple choice or T/F and based exclusively on the articles from the reader that are assigned that week
FINAL PROJECTFINAL PROJECT1. Find a stem cell article to review and write 5 quiz-like questions w/ answers, and a 1 pg summary explaining why it should be included in the reader
2. Choice of one of the following:
a)One in-class stem cell-related presentation,
b)One stem cell-related activity/attend a stem cell event (turn in 1 pg. reflection)
We do not take attendance in discussion but you must pass at least 7 quizzes to pass the course – NO EXCEPTIONS
Stem Cell Event Example Elucidating telomerase function
using genetically defined human stem cell models
February 9 | 4-5 p.m. | 101 Life Sciences Addition

Solving the puzzle of stemness by genome and epigenome editing
February 16 | 4-5 p.m. | 101 Life Sciences Addition
Featured Speaker: Fyodor D. Urnov, University of California, Berkeley
ENROLLMENT:ENROLLMENT:Add whichever discussion suits you best according to your class level (lower/upper division). You can find the CCN’s on the decal.org site. Note that you need to be enrolled in both lecture and a discussion section (2 units).

IB 98/198 Stem Cells: Outreach and Education • This course offers members of the Stem Cell Education
Outreach Program and new participants the option to receive credit for their participation, as well as expand their knowledge on current stem cell topics and pedagogy.
• Students will not only give existing presentations to Bay Area high school classes, but will also work to develop their public speaking abilities, expand their PowerPoint presentation making capabilities, and learn the importance of maintaining a discourse between academia and the general public.
Info Session 2066 VLSB on Tuesday, February 1st , 7-9pm
• 1 unit P/NP• Requires a background in stem cell science
