LISC 391 Integrated Life Sciences Laboratory II Units: 3.00
Students in LISC 391 will learn the physiological and pharmacological principles of cardiorespiratory sciences and neuroscience, preparing students for undergraduate thesis, graduate-level research, or practical bench science outside of academia. Students will proceed through four guided modules, developing skills to execute multi-step protocols, collect and analyze primary data, be an active participant in 'team science', and exercise critical thinking to develop rational arguments, test hypotheses, identify assumptions and limitations, and communicate using precise, scientific language.
NOTE Priority will be given to students registered in a LISC Specialization Plan or BHSc Program.

Course Learning Outcomes:
- Develop and implement qualitative and quantitative research methodologies including data acquisition and analysis to effectively test a hypothesis, generate data, and interpret results using appropriate statistics, and data analysis including graphing and curve fitting.
- Develop working strategies to manage time and resources in a laboratory setting.
- Work collaboratively in a group to effectively design, execute, analyze, and present experimental data.
- Identify one’s role in the research environment (positionality, biases) and reflect on current challenges and controversies in (pre-) clinical research.
- Apply understanding of physiology and pharmacology principles to an experimental laboratory setting of neuroscience and cardiorespiratory physiology.
- Discuss the significance of their findings and effectively communicate results to others in the form of project pitches, written reports suitable for conversion to publishable journal articles, scientific posters, and graphical abstracts.
