Foundational Skills in Life Sciences
Students and scholars in life sciences need to use many skills to survive and excel during scientific training, which involves listening, reading, writing, and speaking.
But I have seen many of them struggle in understanding and learning those skills.
I am a professor in the U.S., a tenured faculty member with MD, PhD degrees.
I will guide you through the skills, so that you will learn and improve successfully in your professional life.

22. Negative controls unveil a hidden culprit in a problematic experiment (mini-series: reading-14)
We continue our deep exploration into negative controls and their importance in troubleshooting life-science experiments. We follow a real-life story of an experiment that yielded unexpected results. Through the third troubleshooting experiment utilizing negative controls, the experimenters finally uncovered the culprit. We discuss how negative controls helped identify the problem and pave the way for further investigation.
This is Part 14 of the reading mini-series "Let’s read a paper written by Nobel Prize Laureates, 2023."
