Course in fall semester 2016: Scientific Information Retrieval & Management in Life Sciences and Chemistry

"Information" savvy – by taking the course 529-0195-00L. A short introductory video can be found <link https: youtu.be r_4upkmpmq8 _blank external-link-new-window external link in new>here.

In the course you will learn how to effectively retrieve, critically judge, analyze, and manage published scientific information – important skill sets in chemistry and life sciences where scientists need to deal with vast amounts of information.

The course also covers scientific writing & communication and state-of-the-art technologies for analysis such as text mining as well as rendering of molecules.

The course – with practical examples – maps the cycle of the scientific research processes to the corresponding processes of information and knowledge management.

More information about the course (taught in English), which has been explicitly developed for students of the Life Science Zurich Graduate School, can be found in the <link http: www.vvz.ethz.ch vorlesungsverzeichnis external link in new>course catalogue of the ETH Zurich(Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Courses of the D-CHAB, 529-0195-00L).
