Fall 2025 - Would take this class a million times (or any class with Chris). There is a lot of participation and we must learn to use our voices but it's well worth it. It's truly for our own good. I had little to no confidence in presenting anything research related, especially because I am so new to my lab, but Chris really helped me gain confidence in my abilities to understand research and to write my very own grant proposal for a project that I am now more excited about. This class is truly what you make of it and it's really in your own best interest to apply yourself so that you get something out of it (like a grant proposal that can contribute to your own academic/career benefit later). Chris is also an amazing PI and professor. He is very kind and gives very feedback that is never hard to swallow because it's very constructive. He's also pretty funny and provides snacks. Total lab dad! I highly, HIGHLY recommend this class for any IBP MS student (or any IBP related department).
