Foundational Skills in Life Sciences

Dr. Synaptologica

Students and scholars in life sciences need to use many skills to survive and excel during scientific training, which involves listening, reading, writing, and speaking.  
But I have seen many of them struggle in understanding and learning those skills.  
As a professor, I will guide you through the skills, so that you will learn and improve successfully in your professional life.
