“It almost seems as if [LACs] are providing knowledge without giving it too much application” (#25)
Samples of course descriptions from Harvard and two LACs (random order)
“An introduction to the study of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genome structures and molecular evolution. Topics also include surveys of different “omics” (e.g. proteomics, metabolomics, . . .) and their application toward medicine.”
“We will explore topics on excitable membranes, neurotransmission, ion channels, dendritic integration, intracellular signaling, and synaptic plasticity in the context of model circuits in the brain.”
“A wide range of research techniques is introduced, including positron emission topography, functional magnetic resonance imaging, diffusor tensor imaging, neuropsychological assessment, event-related potentials, magnetoencephalography, and transcranial magnetic stimulation.”
