How do you Figure? Reading, understanding, and learning Immunology from the published literature

1 credits · Graduate School

Journal articles are the currency of modern science. They are the major means scientists learn about new ideas, techniques, and results. They are also the main method scientists disseminate their work. In this course, we will take a deep dive into the modern literature of Immunology research. In this course, you will learn how to effectively read and obtain new knowledge from published works. We will talk about how publications do (or do not) effectively transmit information. And finally, we will use individual and group reading of papers to learn information relevant to key concepts and techniques in the field of Immunology. This is a discussion-based class focused on group learning that requires in-person engagement. [1]
