Course keywords: 科學, Science Purpose of this class - Nourish the awareness of and habit of scientific thinking and doing, motivated by why doing so and how to do it right. Exemplified Material - https://www.khanacademy.org/science/high-school-biology/hs- biology-foundations/hs-biology-and-the-scientific-method/v/the-scientific-method Teaching Methods - Lecturing & Group Discussions Syllabus - Week 0 – Being a scientist and upholding research integrity (remote talk) Week 1-3 – Definition of Science, scientific methods and thinking, types of control and normalization https://youtu.be/VhZyXmgIFAo Week 4-6 – Principle of Science – hypothesis, predictability, types of modeling, reproducibility Week 7,8 – Basic Statistics and how to read math; definition, definition and definition Week 9,10 – Communication empathy and presentation (Listening & Speaking & Writing; understanding writing and verbal expression as a function of the depth of understanding) Week 11,12 – Hands-on practice in scientific data handling and writing Week 14 – the culture/good practice of science Week 15 – The structure & function of and human relation within a laboratory, peer review in journal publication and grant application Week 16 to last – Group presentations & Evaluation Evaluation - Final Presentation (70%) - Groups write research proposals (or tender/標案), present the proposals to a grant review committee constituted by a selected member from each group in order to compete a fixed amount of budget; the goal of grant review committee is to see the highest possible economic gain and/or highest possible impact on scientific research. Rated by group presentations where individual score is also weighted by member- rated contributions Class Participation (10%) Quizzes – statistics and probability (10%), listening and presentation practices (10%) Homework Bonus (10%) – sleep >6 hrs per day; make daily gratitude; meditate for 10 mins per day; exercise >20 mins per day; Itemizing what we will be teaching; the content includes but limited to - Structure of Science; what is control? how many types of controls? why must we have comparisons and controls? why normalization is needed? how many ways are there to normalize your data? everyday statistics for life science? p-value? why must you have a hypothesis in research? why do they report so many data? simply showing the efforts or ruling out the alternative hypotheses? Think counter examples for your hypothesis and proposed methodology to tackle a problem. Why are rules, principles and models seek in science? can science go without these? Let the claims be supported by the evidence. Understand the difference between the goal and the data/results one get. Do the results address the goal? Communications; Communicate your research (what should be in abstract, introduction, results, methods, discussions?) Type of papers (research articles, reviews, comments/debate, Rxiv/bioRxiv) Active reading, passive reading and google search (how to use, not to use certain keywords). How to listen? how to teach? why teaching is needed? why peer-review environment is needed? How is science reviewed? current system of peer review? what are citation and impact factors? what do reviewers and editors want in addition to that you want your papers to be published? what are the questions reviewers are asked in the evaluation of a manuscript? Authorship & collaboration? Credits? Reproducibility; how to cite my own or others' thesis and paper? Other research integrity issues. how to write a grant proposal? how is it reviewed? Lab structure - how does a lab run? why do you get stipend for your lab? why are you called part-time RA? Can I or when I can initiate a new research in the lab? Should I help others' research in the lab? why? Human relation in lab, each member's goal in the lab and sufficient communication with your PI and school to solve interpersonal conflicts. team work, not your work; what do they mean a good team player? Common misbeliefs in graduate school. how are we conditioned by trainings before graduate school which contradicts what a good research needs. Good scientific practice - forgetting about exams - doing it correctly weighs much more than doing it fast; obedience or skeptical? no prejudice is difficult. planning and milestones (practice), There is no "good" but there is "better" in science; turning adjectives into comparative terms. intellectual properties; do you own what your lab owns or schools owns? basic ideas of patent filing and tech transfer; AI 使用規則 (Indicate which of the following options you use to manage student use of the AI) - 有條件開放,請註明如何使用生成式AI於課程產出 Conditionally open; please specify how generative AI will be used in course output.
