Talk Overview
In iBiology’s online course “Let’s Experiment: A Guide for Scientists Working at the Bench,” we shared tips on how to prioritize experiments and provided a handy flowchart to help students navigate this decision-making process. Much to our surprise, we received an abundance of comments and questions in the course forums on this topic. In order to address some of those unanswered questions, we decided to host a live Q&A session with Prachee Avasthi, an instructor from this course. Prachee originally conceived of the decision tree flowchart and wrote about it in her blog post On prioritizing experiments (an adapted version of this flowchart was shared it in the course).
Here is a video recording of the Q&A, which took place on March 21, 2019. In this Q&A, Prachee shared new advice and ideas that were not previously included in the course. She also answered some of the questions taken directly from the course forums.
