Took science courses in your high school but never experienced what it is like to read a published scientific research paper and how to approach it? Interested in finding a summer internship in a research lab, but had no prior experience reading a scientific paper? This class will take you through the multiple components of a scientific paper step by step and teach you what to look out for in each section. Along the way, we will learn about key biological processes involved in activation of protein kinases and all the cellular techniques involved in studying them. Should have a basic understanding of biology like phosphorylation, gel electrophoresis, etc. Will involve student participation in a small group of 20 students. The paper assigned will be challenging, but do your best to skim through and we will tackle this paper piece by piece together in this course. Bring your phone/computer if you can!
