Description
Can you write a great essay..? Can you be persuasive while remaining factually correct..? The BIOS0006 module draws on core information from Year-1 studies in Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience and introduces the skills and techniques needed to communicate well 鈥� not only to the scientific community but also to a wider audience. You will be supervised by a member of staff from the Division of Biosciences or an associated department. The class meets for a number of formal sessions over 2 terms, to introduce core skills and to plan effective writing. Most of the time, students will practice the core skills in their own time, liaising with their supervisor for feedback, and attending Q&A sessions.
Students should gain the following knowledge and skills:
- Detailed understanding of a modern theme of scientific research in Physiology, Pharmacology, Neuroscience, or Cell Biology.
- Use of electronic databases to research the literature for information on Bioscience and its related subjects.
- Ability to prepare a scientific dissertation to a specified length and format (as a word-processed document), by a given deadline.
- Ability to give oral and written presentations to both scientific and non-expert audiences.
