BIO-652: Planning your scientific journey
Being successful as a scientist requires more than acquiring knowledge and developing experimental skills. It also requires learning how to ask good scientific questions, establish a clear plan of action, and seeking advice along the way. In this course, a small group of students watch on-line videos made by scientists, perform written exercises related to their own PhD projects, and discuss these exercises and videos together with the course instructor.
Offered: TBD
