My lab had an especially critical ethos, but this emphasis on questioning results and maintaining skepticism is very common in the U.S. Something is clearly wrong in a lab seminar if the speaker has managed to go through his talk without any interruptions; something VERY amiss if there are no questions even at the end.
An emphasis was placed on the importance of students being included in routine departmental activities, such as lab meetings, seminars or clinical meetings, rounds or sessions, where the agenda need not be ostensibly relevant to the interests of the project.
The college uses the Socratic Seminar Method; there are no lectures or textbooks on campus, but rather, labs and seminars.
These lab and branch seminars for NIH insiders are the "entry-level" seminars that can lead to both NIH-wide presentations and presentations at national conferences.
How you'll learn You'll learn through a mix of lectures, seminars, lab sessions and practical work out in the field.
All major scientific procedures are conducted in English: the weekly lab meetings, the seminars, the manuscripts, and theses.
Some would say this is much like the culture of science in settings such as lab meetings and seminars.
There are sessions, workshops, talks, seminars, labs and the ever-burgeoning meet market (a pitching initiative).
How you'll learn You will learn through lectures, seminars, tutorials, lab work and bedside demonstrations.
By using existing computers to conduct online seminars, link lab meetings and share data through a Web site (www.greatlakescfar.org), the project combines the expertise of scientists from different institutions and different fields of study.
