New Course in the Physics Department

NEW: PHYS 107: Life in the Cell from a Molecule’s Perspective, which meets TR 10:20-11:40 in Exley 221.

This course is a writing intensive introduction to a handful of important topics in molecular biophysics. While I intend the course to introduce students to biophysics while they still have time to pursue the certificate, it would also be a great choice for a student looking for a course in NSM that is not math heavy. There are no problem sets, and no exams. Assessments consist of contributions to the class website (20%), twice-weekly exploratory writing assignments (40%), and a final paper (40%).
