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.
But I have seen many of them struggle in understanding and learning those skills.
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.

44. An evolving reader: my phases through reading textbooks (Q&A-5: textbooks, part 2)
How are you reading life-science textbooks?
My approach to reading textbooks has evolved significantly throughout my academic career, from student to researcher to instructor to course director. Today’s episode is part 2. We will discuss the last two phases of my experience.
I am now in the fourth phase. I fully appreciate how well the authors summarized a vast amount of knowledge in one field of life sciences, in coherent and consistent manners.
Please enjoy listening to my different phases of reading textbooks. It will be great if these episodes serve in stimulating your thoughts about how to read textbooks.
