I run a Masters module called MD997. Over six weeks, students have to write a grant proposal and then assess their peers’ proposals at a mock grant panel. Each student bases their proposal on a paper. They present that paper to the class and then they write their proposal using the paper as a springboard.
I refreshed my paper list this year to consist of solely papers published (or posted on bioRxiv) in 2019. The previous list is here. The criteria for selection are:
- papers must be methods-based or centred on a core methodology
- must be in research topic from our faculty (cell bio/biophysics, immuno, microbiology, structure, neuro, stats/ML, chemistry…)
My task was made easier by a Rxivist and Alexis’s list.
The list of papers I selected is below. It’s not meant to be exhaustive, exclusive, or anything… but it may be useful for you to check out, maybe you missed so of these in 2019.
