KEYS Institute Week
At the beginning of
the KEYS Research Internship, students are required
to attend and participate
in an intensive weeklong training institute. During
the institute, students develop their science literacy
and learn modern laboratory techniques and methods
currently being used to solve today’s complex
biological problems.
Instruction during the institute is a combination
of both hands-on and minds-on activities. This includes
guest speakers, who discuss various aspects of science
research and how their research interests developed.
Other presentations include reading scientific literature,
and talks from laboratories related to the topics
of the institute.
By the
end of the institute students will be able to demonstrate:
- Use of basic tools and techniques applicable to many types of research labs
- Strategies for deciphering a scientific research paper
- Self confidence in a science setting
