Lachance, Katherine; Heustis, Ronald J.; Loparo, Joseph J.; Venkatesh, Madhvi J. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
Research skills, especially in experimental design, are essential for success in bioscience doctoral training. While there is a growing body of literature on the development of research skills among science, technology, engineering, and mathematics doctoral students, very little is specific to biosciences. We seek to address this gap by…

This study employs an experimental design to test the effects of exposure to randomly…
