(3 units). In the ever-diversifying field of evolutionary and comparative biology, it is becoming increasingly necessary for early-career researchers to cultivate a broad set of skills, eventually to launch a project of interdisciplinary nature. This course provides workshop and hands-on training for students to develop broad basis and familiarity with the research toolkit of modern biology. Topics include the use of statistical programs, 3D data acquisition and analysis, cladistic analysis and phylogenetic comparative method, microscopy and histology, basic bioinformatics, and scientific illustration. Each workshop will be led by a faculty expert. Offered in alternate years. This course is equivalent to BIOL 5313 at Carleton University. Course Component: Lecture
