Signal Transduction: Pathways, Mechanisms and Diseases

Teachingagraduatecourseonsignaltransductioninthefallof2007wasvery enjoyable. Eachweek,mystudentsandIdiscussedarecentlypublishedresearch paperinsomeareaofsignaling,arguedabouttheappropriatenessofthemethod- ogyusedintheresearch,thedesignoftheexperiments,andwhethertheconc- sions drawn were supported bythe results presented. Finally, each student was askedtolistwhatwasgoodandwhatwasde?cientinthepaperandwhethershe/he wouldhaveacceptedorrejectedithadshe/herevieweditforpublication.
