2. Development is one of the top journals in the field of developmental biology. Abstracts for the articles that appear in Development are online at http://dev.biologists.org/. You should choose an article that is in the “Research Articles” section (this is a primary research article rather than a review). You should be able to download articles for free that are more than six months old. Scan through abstracts in the journal and select one that covers a topic you find interesting - but you don’t need to understand any of the details of the article at this point. Once you are set on your research article, the next step will be to identify one or two review articles (These are often cited in the Introduction of the paper) and read them. Bring the article to class in Room 518 of the Glickman Library on March 3 rd and we will discuss what your article is about and learn about how to use science databases. Be prepared to describe the article - but you don’t need to understand the details at this point. Bring the article to class in Room 518 of the Glickman Library on March 3 rd NEXT Monday WE MEET IN THE LIBRARY.
