Evolution is often viewed as a purely historical topic disconnected from modern practical concerns. This view is incomplete: evolution plays a key role in many areas of modern life and underlies many public health challenges like drug resistance in bacteria and cancer, vaccine development, circadian medicine, and the 'spill-over' of pathogens from wildlife to humans (and vice versa). These issues, however, are intricately connected to social drivers like the use of antibiotics to treat viruses or as growth promoters in livestock. More evolutionary-guided solutions to understanding and addressing these challenges are critical for a sustainable and healthy future. ### requirements text (ZOOLOGY/​BIOLOGY/​BOTANY  151,BOTANY/​BIOLOGY  130,ZOOLOGY/​BIOLOGY  101,102, orBIOCORE 381) and sophomore standing ### credits min 2 ### credits max 2 ### credit offering ids * 1272:703:026849 ### llm job id enrich-8b774950c2b6adfdc46d1b82 ### llm output id 470d02dc35c8b007903e04fe7ce465e0eb9fb7fd9894baaf74ae467e52e7f01d ### llm model nvidia/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 ### llm model revision 1355db6a052410cfd62085d94b58866fd0f2c3c5 ### llm task version 14 ### llm search status valid ### llm summary This course explores evolutionary and ecological solutions to modern public health challenges like drug resistance and pathogen spill-over. ### llm topics * Drug resistance, cancer, vaccine development, circadian medicine, pathogen spill-over, and social drivers of antibiotic use. ### llm skills * Analyzing and discussing evolutionary and ecological solutions to public health challenges. ### llm assumed background * Foundational knowledge of evolutionary biology, ecology, and public health challenges including drug resistance and pathogen dynamics. ### llm search phrases * evolutionary biology public health * antibiotic resistance evolution * pathogen spill-over ecology * cancer evolutionary dynamics ### llm requirements status valid ### llm student summary status valid ### llm experience status insufficient\_evidence ### catalog variants None recorded. ### student summary #### context hash be00c25dcc975ffb9fac9c127878ace5b2bbfacadf3478605e9f72300bf9d3ad #### course id PATH-BIO 307 #### current instructors ```json [ { "instructor_uid": "instructor_dc48270ade7d038c48f54e10", "message": "No course-specific reviews available", "name": "Jessica Hite", "review_status": "no_course_reviews", "rmp_instructor_id": null, "summary": [ { "citations": [ { "course_id": "PATH-BIO 307", "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "section_number": 1, "source_course_id": "039b11bf-341c-3171-894b-75cdc086716e", "source_record": { "entity_id": "039b11bf-341c-3171-894b-75cdc086716e", "file": "tables/observations.parquet", "kind": "grades", "source": "madgrades" }, "table": "section_grades_latest", "term_id": "1262", "type": "grade" } ], "text": "Recent recorded grades — Fall 2025: 3.91 GPA, 93.9% A/AB (n=49 letter grades)." } ] } ] ``` #### difficulty workload None recorded. #### errors None recorded. #### historical context None recorded. #### message No course-specific reviews available #### offered true #### profile hash 5cb4dabf887cdbcd8c00d5a1312e10828b95c63f30bc3ea76aea199565390d02 #### quick take Recent recorded grades — Fall 2025: 3.91 GPA, 93.9% A/AB (n=49 letter grades). ```json { "citations": [ { "course_id": "PATH-BIO 307", "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "source_record": { "entity_id": "039b11bf-341c-3171-894b-75cdc086716e", "file": "tables/observations.parquet", "kind": "grades", "source": "madgrades" }, "table": "grades_latest", "term_id": "1262", "type": "grade" } ] } ``` #### student experience None recorded. #### task hash 74fb0997943e888960bbc9e47db8c4fd12e4292d55c20509d8d89db6a9910f68 #### teaching history JESSICA HITE is recorded teaching in Fall 2025.
