My Lecture at the Biochemistry Seminar

The course begins with workshops on biochemistry career development, identifying well-validated biochemical information online, and communicating effectively in reports and talks. The following weeks of the course are organized as mini-symposia on current research topics spanning the breadth of biochemistry. The first week on each research topic will feature a short (20 minute) introductory talk by a professor who is an expert in that research field, placing the topic into context, followed by a question and answer session with the class members. Students who choose to write a report on that topic may also ask questions about the report paper (provided under the professor’s folder on the D2L website). Students who will present talks on the professor’s topic the next week are also welcome to ask questions about the papers they will present the following week. Each presenter will give a 15-minute talk on his topic, followed by five minutes of questions and discussion after each talk. Later in the semester, students will have an opportunity to prepare and present a poster covering alternative sides to a controversial societal topic involving biochemistry.
