M&ENVTOX 801

Provides an overview of scientific communication; specifically, students will be exposed to the various methods of communicating their science including articles, proposals, presentations / lectures, and posters. Strategies will demonstrate best practices for each method and enable students to critically define what sets apart good examples from poor. Classroom discussions allow for comprehension of these means. Assignments are designed to familiarize the students with these methods. Students will have classroom instruction and the opportunity to learn from peer mentors as well as laboratory directors on different preferences and approaches to science communication.

M&ENVTOX/PATH/PHMCOL-M/PHMSCI/POPHLTH 626

Survey of the basic methods and fundamental biochemical mechanisms of toxicity. Toxicity in mammalian organ systems, techniques for evaluating toxicity, as well as mechanisms of species specificity, and environmental interactions (with toxicant examples) are presented.
