The objectives of this course are 1) to provide graduate students with an overview of recent developments in animal biotechnology; 2) to improve graduate students' presentation skills. After extensive review and discussion of various biotechnologies, each student will be asked to give a presentation in the area other than their own research. I will meet with all students individually several times during their literature search, preparation of presentation outline and presentation practice. Lab demonstrations of basic embryology techniques will be included as well. Guest speakers will plan to invite for the lectures as necessary.
