The Spartans earned their reputation as the world's fiercest warriors; from birth, their entire upbringing was geared towards forging soldiers out of men. This lecture will take students through the life and death of a Spartan male, while giving due attention to their mastery of phalanx warfare.

When the human body is exposed to extreme physical force, it must cope as best as it can to maintain adequate blood flow to all of its tissues. When the body fails to maintain this equilibrium, or homeostasis, death results.

At the most fundamental of levels, we are all molecules. This class will seek to take a molecular look at life and survey the major principles that govern how these building blocks interact. To do so, we will begin by surveying the unifying themes of organic chemistry (for which there are surprisingly few) before moving on to inspecting the main macromolecules of life- sugars, lipids, and nucleic acids.

From hypnotics and depressants to stimulants and hallucinogens, there are a wide range of psychoactive drugs that fundamentally alter our brain’s chemistry. This course will analyze how these types of drugs disturb the chemical balances within our brains and how we experience these disruptions.

From Quark to Cosmos will take students through a visual tour of our universe by using interactive examples, physical models, and the latest computer animations to convey the scale and true appearance of our universe at every level. After beginning at the subatomic level, the lecture will work its way up through atoms, molecules, cells, organisms, planets, solar systems, galaxies, and finally, the universe.

When the human body is exposed to extreme physical force, it must cope as best as it can to maintain adequate blood flow to all of its tissues. When the body fails to maintain this equilibrium, or homeostasis, it enters into shock. This collapse of the circulatory system, and whether or not it can be reversed, is at the center of whether a trauma victim will live or die. This lecture will go into the nature of shock, its stages, and the techniques emergency medical personnel use to combat it.
