STIA 305! Although this is the gateway course for the STIA major/minor, it's an absolutely interesting a engaging class suitable for anyone interested in the intersection of science and international relations. We had 7 different professors giving lectures on topics such as CRISPR, nuclear security, climate science diplomacy, the economics of innovation and emerging infectious diseases. Each module is also ended off with a fun simulation, including going to the lab to experiment with real CRISPR kits, pretending to be countries in the UN responding to an India-Pakistan nuclear crisis, and coming up with our most Black Mirror-esque AI-powered innovation. Last but not least, we were also given critical responses where we had to write briefs or policy assessments on scientific topics, forcing us to explain scientific concepts without jargon to the regular person. STIA 305 is definitely a fun and rewarding course!
