Endocrinology and Endocrine Disruption

An exploration of endocrine systems and the hormonal regulation of physiological function in vertebrates and invertebrates. This integrated lecture-lab course will also investigate the phenomenon of endocrine disruption or how man-made chemicals are interfering with hormone function in animals, including humans. Students will read, analyze, and present primary scientific literature. Prerequisites: BIO 210, BIO 211, and BIO 212. Occasionally.
