BB 501: Seminar

This course will help students develop scientific communication skills through their attendance and participation in weekly research seminars. Research talks will include both external guest speakers and graduate students from the Biology and Biotechnology department, giving students an opportunity to learn by example while also honing their data presentation and communication skills through practice. Students will receive feedback from an audience of their peers and departmental faculty. Talks given by guest speakers will be paired with informal meetings between the guest and students to promote networking and broaden the student’s exposure to the greater scientific community.
