Young Scholars Program in Life Sciences and Biochemistry

这个为期8周的暑期住宿青年学者计划将强调生命科学，生物化学，生理心理学和一些地球科学如古生物学的研究参与。为了给他们的研究参与提供一个广阔的视角和背景，特别的高级课程将在前四周的上午提供，下午则是研究参与。最后四周将全职参与研究，晚上偶尔会有研讨会。课程将包括：讲座和讨论，涵盖现代细胞，分子，进化和发育生物学和生物化学的选定主题；阅读和讨论生物学和生物化学的重要实验；还有研究科学家的客座讲座。研究参与包括学生作为研究小组的初级成员参与正在进行的研究，有时与小组成员进行联合项目，有时对一个问题进行独立研究。在课程结束时，参与者将提交一份书面论文，并在为期两天的模拟专业会议上就他们的研究进行口头报告。

This 8-week summer residential Young Scholars Program will emphasize research participation in the life sciences, biochemistry, physiological psychology, and some earth sciences such as paleontology. To provide a broad perspective and a background for their research participation, special advanced coursework will be provided during the mornings of the first four weeks with research participation in the afternoons. The last four weeks will be devoted to full-time research participation with occasional seminars in the evening. The coursework will include: lectures and discussions covering selected topics in modern cellular, molecular, evolutionary and developmental biology and biochemistry; readings and discussions of great experiments in biology and biochemistry; and guest lectures by research scientists. Research participation will involve the student as a junior member of a research team engaged in on-going research, sometimes on a joint project with members of the team and sometimes on an independent facet of a problem. At the end of the program, the participants will submit a written paper and will give oral presentations on their research at a two-day simulated professional meeting.
