Abstract
A journal-club style seminar, in which preselected recent scientific articles are analyzed, presented and discussed by students. The relevant topics are selected from the wider area of food microbiology, including fundamental and applied disciplines. Students learn how state-of -the-art research is designed, conducted, appropriately analyzed, and presented.
Objective
Students will learn how state-of -the-art research is designed, conducted, appropriately analyzed, and presented.
Content
Several pre-selected, recently published papers will be up for selection by the students. All papers were selected from recent literature and reflect the wider area of food microbiology, including fundamental research (molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry) and applied disciplines (diagnostics, control, epidemiology). Groups of 2 students each will pick a paper for in-depth analysis (mostly work done at home and/or library) and presentation to the other students.
Resources
Lecture Notes
No script needed. Pre-selected papers will be assigned to student groups in the kick-off meeting (first lecture); PDF copies will be available to all students.
