Course Master: Nancy Fossett, Ph.D.  The ability to communicate effectively scientific findings and new ideas not only aids the researcher in promoting his/her program, but often helps in the conceptualization of new areas of inquiry and generates new insights into recent discoveries. This course is designed to provide second year Molecular Medicine Graduate students with instruction in five critical areas of scientific communication that underpin a successful graduate career: 1) Grant Writing Skills; 2) Manuscript Preparation Skills; 3) Presentation Skills (preparation and delivery of an oral presentation); 4) Bio-informatics and 5) People Skills (professional skills for future employment opportunities). The format will include formal lectures on each topic, followed by an accompanying workshop and/or forum in which to engage in interactive learning sessions.Offered in:
