Age-related Diseases. These classes are highly interactive pass/fail seminar courses where we discuss two scientific papers each week. I think this type of course is very important for undergraduates to learn how to analyze scientific literature. The courses
are designed to be flexible on the dates and times that we meet so I believe this could be appealing to many undergraduate students. The following link provides more information about my course: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
