INTRODUCTION TO BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH & CAREERS I (1)
Huang, P-C  Limit 40  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  Co-listed with 250.300 & 306
