BZ101 is an existing AUCC course that is designated to teach biology in an accessible way to over 500 non-STEM students from diverse majors each year. One main purpose of this course is to expose these students to key concepts in science that are directly relevant to society and the surrounding world and help them to develop appropriate scientific literacy to navigate this intersection as informed citizens. I am in the process of redesigning this course in both structure and content, including an expansion of sustainability-related topics in the course. Human intervention in ecosystems, conservation of biodiversity, and climate change policies, among other relevant topics, will now cover 25% of the total course content, rather than just a single lecture. Through this newly updated course, students will be able to understand both conceptual and practical approaches to preserving ecosystems and feel more confident in navigating the complexities of a changing planet.
