MCB575 - Scientific Communication
Course ID
037869
Course Description
A graduate-level course focused on the effective dissemination of scientific information through distinct modes of oral and written communication. Through practical examples of activities common to the profession (writing a grant proposal and presenting research work orally), students will develop the skills necessary to effectively communicate scientific ideas, experiments and results. Each of the activities will be dissected into key skill sets that will be individually developed with the aid of interactive discussions and peer review. In addition, students will develop documents to describe their research experiences and motivations and submit an application for a graduate research fellowship from the NSF, if eligible.
