It uses this narrow focus as a vehicle to explore three distinct perspectives (1) biomedical research (2) social change and economic impact (3) solutions. There are three aims: - to give a much broader outlook on this societal issue than is currently possible within the discipline constraints of the usual taught units. - to take students' understanding from lay-knowledge to the cutting-edge of expertise. - to leverage on-line course material into higher-level engagement of students during face-to-face activities.
