This course takes an in depth look into how scientific research is done by studying where research is done, who does it, how questions are developed, how approaches and techniques are chosen, and how data is analyzed and presented. Students listen to a research seminar aimed at an expert audience, and then dissect the work throughout the semester. At the end of term, pieces from studying the research project are reassembled, a video of the seminar critiqued, and the course concludes with a Q+A session with the seminar speaker. The course is for students enrolled in the research certificate in biological and biomedical sciences.
