Undergraduates are often expected to read scientific papers for class and submit assignments based on their understanding of the contents of these papers. Most courses, in our experience as students and TAs, do not spend time teaching students how to approach highly technical scientific reading. We believe that reading scientific papers and interpreting figures is a skill that can and should be taught in a classroom setting. This workshop was designed for Stanford undergraduates in the bioBUDS program. The goal of this workshop is to provide students with some of the tools to start reading and interpreting scientific papers for class or undergraduate research.
