Biological clocks are the endogenous oscillators that coordinate physiological and behavioral rhythms in nearly all organisms. This course examines how these rhythms are generated and regulated at the molecular, cellular and systems levels. We will cover the relevance of biological timing to the ecology and health of everything from protozoans to plants to people.will edit one Students will, as in past years, create and/or edit one Wikipedia site twice and another Wikipedia site once. These sites will focus on famous chronobiologists or circadian topics.
