Presentation Transcript

  1. Which parts of the paper are most important? • Depends a little bit on your familiarity with the research presented. • Abstract • Results: Figures, Tables, Text • Materials and Methods • (Introduction) – mostly TAS information • (Discussion)

  2. How is it different from reading papers as a bench scientist? • Don’t be swayed by the hand-waving that can go on in the Discussion. • Focus on the actual results vs. the sometimes far-removed implications of those results. • Read for details and contact authors if key identifiers are missing.
