Lectures by faculty will:
- Describe and explain the experimental design for an experiment, preferably one using animals.
- Discuss how the experiment progressed – was it necessary to change the design, and if so, why?
- Discuss how that experiment became part of a publication:
- Where did the experiment fit into the overall publication?
- Who wrote the manuscript, who reviewed it internally before sending it out and why?
- How did you select the journal to send it to?
- How were co-authors selected? How was the decision made regarding where to submit the manuscript?
- How did the paper’s review process go? How long did it take?
- Were revisions necessary? If so, how did that go?
- Faculty are encouraged to discuss studies that entailed difficult decisions/conundrums.
