Section Title: IALS: It's Toxic! Section Info: This Grand Challenge Experience course for the Health & Wellness pathway will teach students how exposure to chemicals from the environment in everyday life affects health and well-being. The course will examine the ways that endocrine disruptors like phthalates can enter the body, mimic hormones in the body, and thereby generate physiological and behavioral anomalies that cause health problems. As a first-year course structured around the idea of experiential learning, students will undertake reading and discussion amplified by hands-on field trips, in-class projects, investigations about personal lived environments, and group research projects. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.

Section Title: IALS: The Molecular Me Section Info: This course will give students personal and practical experience investigating root causes of human health and diseases. Topics will be selected to better understand the President's new initiative on Precision Medicine. Examples will demonstrate the connection between observable traits and human genomic variations. Students will gain experience in visualizing and interpreting the molecular consequences of genomic variation, and be able to relate their findings to the science and technology of personalized medicine. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.

Section Title: IALS: Experiential Anatomy Section Info: Students will be engaged in learning about the human body and how it moves, using traditional scientific methods, along with personal explorations in the classroom through guided movement experiences and working with partners. The course takes a holistic approach, delving into various body-mind practices as a lens for learning human anatomy. Quizzes on anatomical structures and movement analysis will be partnered with a personal, experiential research project. The course includes guests from the fields of yoga, physical therapy, and massage therapy, as well as a field trip to the dance neuroscience lab. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
