Students will read and discuss scientific articles written in English on a broad range of topics of Neurobiology, Behaviour and General Biology. The articles will mostly be research papers, but also some reviews or textbook chapters.

We will discuss aspects of English language use, in particular grammar and vocabulary. Students will be able to present papers in ‘Journalclub-Style’. They will be able to summarize research papers and lead a scientific discussion. At the same time, students will learn about recent research focuses in Neurobiology and Animal Behaviour and about the scientific publication process and literature search. Schließen
