Subject outline
In this capstone subject you will extend your discipline-specific research skills, teamwork skills and scientific communication skills by engaging in authentic scientific activities.

Budgetary, ethical, interpersonal and safety issues will be considered. You will communicate the findings in authentic format to scientific peers (e.g. research article, poster) and non-expert audiences.
