<p class="MsoNormal">This course focuses on reading, understanding, and critiquing primary research publications. Through interactive discussions, students will be taught how to design properly controlled experiments to address a particular research question,
interpret results, and draw valid conclusions based on the data. We will also have the opportunity to visit a Cambridge-based RNA therapeutics company and see what the day-to-day life of a scientist looks like.<o:p></o:p></p>
