Putting the Personal in Personalized Nutrition
A “one size fits all” approach to nutrition may not work for everyone. We each have unique variations in our genome, epigenome and microbiome, which interact with our external environment to affect how our bodies respond to dietary intake. Learners will exam the basic principles of nutrition, explore the foundational aspects of personalized nutrition, and analyze the research about the roles of genetics and microbiomes in our personalized nutrition journey. This course is part of the College of ACES suite of online programs, including the graduate-level certificate, "Food Regulations, Nutrition Policy, and Personalized Nutrition" that can be stacked toward an online master's degree.

Chimpanzee Behavior and Conservation
Chimpanzees are one of our closest living relatives, yet almost nothing was known about their behavior in the wild until Jane Goodall started her groundbreaking study of the chimpanzees of Gombe, Tanzania in 1960. This study continues today, following the same chimpanzee families that Jane Goodall first encountered over 55 years ago. Guided by three course instructors who have lived and worked with the Gombe chimpanzees, you will learn how Goodall’s early discoveries changed our view of human uniqueness. By completing the course, you will gain a new appreciation of the deep similarities between chimpanzees and humans in intelligence, tool use, hunting, personality and social relationships, as well as some key differences. You will learn how chimpanzees interact with their environment and how their behavior is influenced by ecology, as well as the severe conservation challenges they face today. And you will employ your new knowledge of chimpanzees to construct a persuasive argument for their protection. This course is open to everyone interested in learning more about these fascinating and complex beings. Knowledge of high-school level biology is beneficial but not required. Please keep in mind, however, that the content of this course will cover all aspects of chimpanzee life, including scientific discussion of sexual and aggressive behaviors.

Desarrolla tu líder
El liderazgo es uno de los fenómenos más observados y menos comprendidos. Casi todos hemos tenido alguna experiencia, propia o a través de la observación de otros, pero difícilmente podamos definirla. Si preguntamos ¿qué es el liderazgo?, existirán tantas definiciones como personas a las que interpelemos. A lo largo del curso se realizará un recorrido siguiendo el marco conceptual que se describe a continuación. En el primer módulo, se analizará el concepto de “liderazgo” y las dimensiones que lo componen, poniendo énfasis en el proceso motivacional entendido como uno de los roles principales de quien ejerce la conducción. En el segundo módulo, se analizarán cuestiones que tienen que ver con las tendencias naturales de cada individuo, es decir, la presencia o la ausencia de carisma, la influencia de los estilos personales y las orientaciones valorativas de cada persona. En el tercer módulo, se analizará la relación del líder con sus colaboradores, teniendo en cuenta las características de la situación y algunas cuestiones vinculadas al liderazgo de equipos de trabajo. En el cuarto módulo, se profundizará en la relación entre los conceptos de “autoridad”, “liderazgo” y “poder” en el contexto organizacional y se hará una descripción de comportamientos de liderazgo que son nocivos, aunque suelan ser bastante habituales. Además de los desarrollos teórico-prácticos, se incluyen otras actividades adicionales, tales como la resolución de algunos casos y la posibilidad de utilizar herramientas de autodiagnóstico para que cada participante pueda profundizar su autoconocimiento y tener un diagnóstico que le permita identificar los aspectos a mejorar para optimizar su actividad como líder. Objetivos del curso: • Conocer la esencia y los elementos que componen el proceso de liderazgo. • Analizar la incidencia de los rasgos personales que forman la dotación biológica de cada individuo. • Incorporar casos de estudio que permitan visualizar la aplicación práctica de los conceptos desarrollados. • Entender la vinculación que existe entre los conceptos de “autoridad”, “poder” y “liderazgo”, a los efectos de evitar comportamientos de conducción nocivos, tanto para las personas como para la organización.
