INTRODUCTION
TO BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH AND CAREERS I (1)
Huang,
P-C Limit 75 Seminar series designed for those interested
in or curious about a career in biological sciences and medicine.
A novel format combining lectures with “talk show” interviews
gives students a broad view of different research problems, experimental
approaches, and practical applications, as well as career paths.
The emphasis is on the excitement of scientific explorations,
rather than an abundance of technical facts and figures. Freshmen
and Non-Science Majors |
