Beyond the Paper: Critique & Communication of Science Literature and Evidence

3 Credits.

Challenges the traditional journal club by immersing students in advanced, practice-based exercises that reveal how rigor, reproducibility, and responsibility (the 3Rs) operate in real-world biomedical and public health research. Explores the dynamics of research, peer review, and policy translation. Discusses the ecosystems in which evidence is produced, debated, and applied. Prepares students to sharpen their analytical skills and gain practice in the responsible communication and interdisciplinary translation of evidence.
