Many undergraduate students choose a science degree but are not
aware of how science and research works in the real world. We
explain the processes of collecting, sharing and, most importantly,
critical analysis of, scientific research, with a focus on the life
sciences. This book explains how scientific research is conceived,
carried out, and analysed. It outlines how research findings are
constantly evolving and why that is exciting and important.
Students using this textbook will learn how to design experiments,
explain their data, and analyse and interpret the work of others.
They will learn to think about broader aspects of science, such as
bias and ethics. They will gain practical skills, including
understanding the use of statistical tests and how to prepare an
effective presentation. Active individual and class exercises
provide opportunities for students to think about difficult
concepts in science and research and to include their own
perspectives. Key Features Encourages discussion and critical
thinking using individual and class exercises Provides real world
examples and context for difficult concepts Allows students to
assess their understanding with practical exercises and examples
Documents a variety of career options and opportunities from
studying science Permits students to advocate for science with
suggestions for creating and sharing research
