Foundational Skills in Life Sciences
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.

I am a professor in the U.S., a tenured faculty member with MD, PhD degrees.
I will guide you through the skills, so that you will learn and improve successfully in your professional life.
