The 103 proseminars offer a chance for close-reading and critical discussion on the given topics. 103S.001: Science, Religion, and Magic in Early Modern Europe (Proseminar in History of Science) Mazzotti | 3205 Dwinelle | Th 2-4 This seminar studies the momentous transformation of knowledge that took place between the late sixteenth and the early eighteenth century, and which is usually described as the Scientific Revolution. During this period, the criteria for assessing what can count as sound evidence changed significantly, as did those to judge whether an argument is valid, or a belief credible. We shall explore the social and cultural contexts in which Western science emerged as a distinctive kind of knowledge and set of practices. At the same time, we shall look at the continuing vitality, throughout this period, of forms of religious and magical experience. How do historians understand this entanglement of recognizably modern ways of thinking with beliefs in magic, astrology, prophecy, and witchcraft? Other History classes for *Integrative Biology* Majors! 138: Science in the United States Daniel Robert | 141 McCone | TuTh 8-9:30 | Class #: 14882 This course covers the history of science in the U.S. from the colonial period up to the present. We will be focusing on the unique situation of the sciences within the changing U.S. context, emphasizing debates over the place of science in intellectual, cultural, religious, and political life. As we examine the mutual shaping of national experience and scientific developments, we will also trace the emergence of institutions for the pursuit of scientific knowledge. We will explore a large number of local examples (California geology, Ernest Lawrence, Silicon Valley, and lots at UC Berkeley). Basic familiarity with U.S. history will be helpful, but the course is aimed at students of all majors. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Title*: Cortical and Subcortical Circuits of Vision *Project description*: The Scanziani laboratory at UCSF is seeking undergraduates for volunteer research position. The project is focused on neural circuit mechanisms underlying visual behaviors in mice. The student will work on training mice to perform visual behavior tasks. Research will include animal handling, record keeping and behavioral assessments. An ideal candidate would be willing to spend at least 12 hours a week in the laboratory. Background in neuroscience is preferred but not required. *Location*: Department of Neuroscience, Scanziani Lab UCSF/Mission Bay Campus *Research mentors*: Dr. Sarah Ruediger Lee, Dr. Arbora Resulaj, and Dr. Sabrina Xu *Applicant*: Biology or Computer Science major; and willing to work with mice. There are multiple positions available: Lab assistant: Student helps with general lab activities; e.g. making solutions, mouse handling and monitoring, assisting with experimental procedures, entering data, etc. These activities are suited for all, and provide initial training of students for more advanced positions in the future. Research assistant: Student is more directly involved in the experimental aspects of a research project; e.g., performing experiments, collecting and analyzing data, conducting literature searches, etc. *Expected time commitment*: 12 hours per week *Duration*: Ideally for 1 year, Summer, or Semester *Questions*: Contact madan.mukun...@ucsf.edu or scanziani....@gmail.com *To Apply*: Send a single pdf file to Madan Mukundan ( madan.mukun...@ucsf.edu) that contains: 1.
