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.

54. Can you explain the role of Introduction in one sentence?
The single-sentence rule for understanding research paper Introductions. Have you thought about what the Introduction section of a life-science paper really does?
In this episode, we will address that question and discuss a simple rule. We will share a single sentence that encapsulates the entire role of the Introduction. It will make it easy to grasp the authors' intention and the paper’s core logic.
Hint: it is related to the key trio in the Abstract: the "Background-Known-Unknown" trio from Episode #53.
This episode = mini-series: reading-34.
