from Everything Hertz · host Dan Quintana
Dan and James discuss what's missing from biobehavioral science course syllabi. Here's the episode lowdown: A thank you to our new Patron supporters The (supposed)CRISPR baby SPSS vs. R: What should be used for instruction? What would Dan and James include in a new syllabus? Should students be taught scientific communication? If we’re going to add new stuff to a syllabus, what gets removed? Are courses too big these days? Should students be taught how to set up a side hustle to apply their research skills outside of academia?
