Reading, understanding, and critiquing scientific literature is a determinant skill for nearly any endeavor you will undertake in the future. If you stay in academia, this will form the foundation of your own research. If you go on to a career in R&D, your ability to critically appraise fundamental research could make or break your job standing. And in any case, you may find yourself trying to make evidence-based decisions on aspects of your life for years to come: Should you go on this diet or that one? Should you accept this treatment your doctor is suggesting? Should you send your children to a Montessori preschool even if it costs double? Should you start yoga when you retire, or before? In this course, we give you the basics of how to read scientific literature, as well as a chance to put these ideas into practice in the domain of your choice.
