NSCPHD1082 Diet, obesity and related diseases
The goal of this course is to critically review current state-of-the-art scientific papers, concepts and methods within the field of diet, obesity and related diseases. Each participant in the course will have to select a topic, find the paper(s) for plenary discussion and host the journal club at least once by giving a short presentation on the background and on the selected article as well as providing questions for plenary discussion. In total, the participants will read and discuss 10 selected high-impact articles and 10 background reviews.
The objectives of the course are to give the PhD-student key knowledge in the field of diet, obesity, and related diseases, develop an ability to critically read the primary research literature, prepare for publishing and get trained to discuss science in depth. The milieu of the course is very informal, as the PhD students themselves discuss scientific areas both with and without the presence of a PI. This is important for the development of the PhD students as individual and independent researchers.
10 selected primary articles with at least 10 background reviews.
