Critical Dissection of Scientific Data

Course Directors: Carl Blobel, MD, PhD, Olga Boudker, Ph.D., and Christopher Mason, PhD
When: Quarters III and IV annually
Time: Thursdays, 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm
Start Date: Thursday, March 16, 2017
Where: 1300 York Avenue, C-200 Conference Room
Who: required for 1st PBSB students; 2nd year PBSB and Tri-I CBM students; Open to all WGSMS students

Description:
This course is required for all 1st and 2nd year PBSB graduate students, but is open to all WGSMS students. It is designed to train students in scientific presentation and critique. The structure is a formalized, in depth "journal club". Each 1st year student will choose a paper from a list provided by the Course Directors. Each 2nd year student will select a paper in their thesis field, subject to approval of the Course Directors. Each session will consist of a student formally presenting their selected paper to the class, which is expected to serve as a critical audience. The presentation should consist of an introduction of the relevant background literature, an objective presentation of the study, a subjective analysis/critique of the work, and suggestions for future work. Presentations by 2nd year students will be scheduled first, giving the 1st year students the opportunity to learn from their more senior colleagues. Grading will be based on presentation quality and contribution to constructive feedback.
