Biol 411, Senior Capstone
This course is offered to biology majors (and others who satisfy the prerequisites) as a “capstone” to their undergraduate studies. You have spent four or more years gaining knowledge of biology, but have probably spent little time considering how this knowledge is (or isn’t) used in the “real world” that you will enter upon graduation. The primary objective of the course is to provide you with an opportunity to do so. In this course you will critically read, consider, discuss, and write about specific scientific issues that are prominent in society today.
BCB 501, Biocomplexity Graduate Seminar Series
In collaboration with Dr. Steve Krone. Students and some faculty present and discuss papers on the interface of (micro)biology and mathematics. Although worlds apart, mathematicians and biologists learn to 'talk' to each other in a somewhat 'common language'. This course arose from the interactions between the faculty in the Math and Biology departments within the CrePE project [Center for Research on Evolutionary Processes (CRePE)].
BCB 552, Professional Development for Biologists
Course goals: The intent of this course is to provide graduate students with opportunities for professional development in a number of areas. There will be opportunities for students to participate in all aspects of the course. The intent is that students actually use these projects – consider submitting a grant proposal and giving a presentation at a scientific meeting.

…Course - University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez
2008, Advances in Microbial Ecology [pdf]. Current topics in microbial ecology with emphasis in tropical ecosystems will be presented. The course will emphasized in molecular tools and data analysis to solve microbiological problems in areas such as bioremediation, industrial microbiology and biotechnology. Activities will include field trips and group discussions of related scientific literature. Course is taught in collaboration with Dr. Larry Forney, and Dr. Arturo Massol-Deyá, University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez
