OCLUE: Organic Chemistry, Life, the Universe, and Everything
Melanie M. Cooper & Michael W. Klymkowsky · LibreTexts
Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon and carbon-containing compounds. Since the core structural, catalytic, information storage, and retrieval systems of organisms are carbon-based macromolecules, organic chemistry is of direct relevance to the life sciences. Just as importantly, the properties of carbon make possible an amazing range of molecules with unique properties, from small molecules to complex plastics and even more complex biomolecules.

Mindfulness for Lawyers
Justine Dunlap · University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
Lawyer and law student distress have been a not-so-well-kept secret for decades. Fortunately, law schools have begun to address this problem, rather than viewing it as a necessary or even honorable rite of passage. For instance, law schools have incorporated wellness opportunities. They have also de-emphasized the use and misuse of alcohol as a lubricant to help students ignore the stress and distress.

Differential Calculus for the Life Sciences
Leah Edelstein-Keshet · University of British Columbia
Calculus arose as a tool for solving practical scientific problems through the centuries. However, it is often taught as a technical subject with rules and formulas (and occasionally theorems), devoid of its connection to applications. In this course, the applications form an important focal point, with emphasis on life sciences. This places the techniques and concepts into practical context, as well as motivating quantitative approaches to biology taught to undergraduates.
