Did you know that HSLS offers you expert instruction on a variety of topics? Our goal in offering instruction is to help you (or your students) be a more efficient, effective researcher – and this includes getting grants, analyzing your data, publishing papers about your research, and more. Whether you are a staff member, faculty member, postdoc, resident, fellow, or student, read on to learn about what HSLS can teach you how to do.
The classes we offer cover a range of topics each term, including:
- Author’s Toolkit. Navigate the publishing process and highlight the impact of your research.
- Citation Management. Determine which citation manager is best for you and then dive in with basic and advanced EndNote and Zotero classes.
- Data Science. Organize, use, share, and increase the reproducibility of your research data.
- Molecular Biology. Learn how to use databases and software tools for your molecular biology research projects.
- Visual Design. Use simple tools to design reports, flyers, and infographics and illustrate scientific figures.
- Literature Searching. Effectively search databases for biomedical literature.
- Special Topics. Explore other topics such as combatting misinformation, Wikipedia for the health sciences, and using DistillerSR for systematic reviews.
