- (1) Watch the 7.5 minute video by Cox (2016) about how climate change affects “species range”. This video can be found in the “Instructor Insights” of Week 1. (a) Describe three things you learned from the video. (b) How does the video relate to the study of biology.
- (2) Sometimes, the results of science have commercial implications. Based on the articles by Sheft (2008) and/or Weintraub (2016), what do you think would be the role of the business professional in getting ideas from academic research out into the real world? (a) Discuss this in detail and (b) explain how your expertise could contribute.
- (3) The results of science sometimes have commercial implications. The patent system grants inventors the exclusive right to license or market their invention for a period of 20 years. Currently, there are patent disputes over a new technique known as “CRISPR-Cas 9”. Based on the article by Ledford (2016), (a) summarize this dispute, and (b) explain why the stakeholders consider this such a big deal.
