Based on selected readings on current issues in the natural sciences, the scope of this course is intentionally broad, and the material is generally oriented toward issues to which students will already have had some exposure through newspapers, non-scientific journals, etc. Students will gain a basic understanding of these issues, an appreciation of the scientific method, and the ability to critically evaluate non- technical scientific literature. No specific scientific background is assumed.
