Your Body in the World: Adapting to Your Next Big Adventure

This course explores the human body as an amazing machine equipped to deal with the world's great stressors. Participants will be introduced to the basics of the science of physiology and get to examine the impact of extreme environments on the body by following, through high definition videos, Dr. Anne Friedlander and decathlete Corey Dysick into the ****pit of a fighter jet and parachuting from 15,000 feet. Participants will also be able to test their own ability to adapt to these and other extreme environments. The 6 week course begins January 13, 2014 and brings together key scientific concepts, compelling stories, expert interviews, and thought-provoking lectures.
