Learning unit contents
This course deals with an important step of a scientific study : the transmission of new data to other researchers. Different forms of scientific communication will be dealt with, with more emphasis on poster presentations and lectures. Each student will have to give one seminar based on a recent scientific publication. The evaluation will take into account the quality of the presentation, the capacity to analyse and criticise the published results, their interpretation, and the perspectives.
