This course is suitable for student who is interested in
Developmental Biology (DB), but have no expereince in reading and presenting
a scientific paper. An introduction of how a scientific paper is organized
will be given at the beginning of course. General approaches and
methodologies frequently used by a developmental biologist will be covered
in the course. Later on, we will actively dissect several hypothesis-driven
DB papers. Students will be required to transform a published paper into a
scientific proposal and then based on the proposal to rewrite a manuscript.
Each student is required to actively participate in our discussion and
present papers in English.
