the new genetics
This project is designed to create a series of modular educational units for use by undergraduates. These include a revised version of “The New Genetics: Medicine and the Human Genome” that broadens the original medical emphasis. New units will examine such topics as genomics and race, genetic variation and protein structure, biotechnology and transgenic organisms, and environmental forensics. Ancillary materials will extend courseware topics into the classroom by creating a workbook with problem sets and exercises, debate questions, a launching pad for student research, and an image bank. The intellectual challenge of this project is to create rigorous, informative, and effective educational materials that enhance the educational process and make it easy for instructors to deal with issues that grapple with science, the environment, and humanity. |
project support
Funding for this project has been provided by the National Science Foundation through the Division of Undergraduate Education (Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement Program) and by the National Science Foundation Plant Genome Program. The project is based on the courseware, “The New Genetics: Medicine and the Human Genome” published in 2000 with funding from the Department of Energy Office of Biological and Environmental Research and from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
