WORKSHOP: Biology of Aging & Evaluating Claims with Martin Jensen
Details
The purpose of this workshop is to teach participants how to accurately assess biological reports. By pointing out the most important cues and clarifying when and how biology differs from other natural sciences, we hope to circumvent a lack of experience and enable the curious and professionally interested to follow the latest developments in biology. This is an interactive, discussion-focused workshop series ideal for non-biology researchers, medical students, and the inquisitive general public. Participants should come prepared to read, analyze, and discuss.
Martin Borch Jensen studies the cellular mechanisms of aging at the Buck Institute near San Francisco. He came to biology from a background in nanotechnology, and probably takes slightly fewer things for granted than most biologists. This workshop is TWO DAYS (but you are welcome to participate in one if that works better for you): Wednesday April 29th 3-7pm and Thursday April 30th 2-6pm. Free for CU Students, $25 for non-students.
