How to read & interpret a scientific study.

Instructor: James Lyons-Weiler

Fall 2023, Day/Time TBA

From a student:

"This class was one of the best classes I have had the privilege of attending. The instructor, James Lyons-Weiler, is not only extremely knowledgeable about how to conduct scientific studies, but he has participated himself in all stages of these studies and has an insider’s knowledge of the process of carrying out scientific studies and reviewing them after they have been written. Please consider this course if you wish to demystify yourself about how to read and critique the literature—so necessary now as public health plays an increasingly important role as we battle the threat of global infections."
