Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

Today's focus: negative controls. In life-science experiments, negative controls play critical roles. In my view, they are more important than the positive controls! They form such a rich topic that we will spend at least a few episodes on discussing them. Today, we introduce basic aspects: 1) what the negative controls do in life-science experiments, 2) our practical definition by modifying the typical and ideal one, 3) how the negative control was used in our milestone graph (Fig. 3D of milestone article 1 by the Laureates of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2023), and 4) two critical assumptions for negative controls to work properly.
This is Part 11 of the reading mini-series "Let’s read a paper written by Nobel Prize Laureates, 2023."

In today’s episode, we will learn which structural components will be minimally essential for an abstract, and which will be additionally necessary for a well-written abstract. These are the abstracts of primary research papers in life sciences, both in clinical- and basic-science fields. There are very many variations in the structures of published abstracts. Why do we want to discuss the above topic? This is because understanding the essential components of abstracts will help us anticipate key information and understand the content more effectively!…

Let’s talk about an excellent abstract that I read this week. It was so well written, and I was so excited to read it that I wanted to talk about it with you today. The beauty of it is that the first 3 structural components guide us through the authors’ intention and question very clearly. But there was also a little twist to the structure: we will talk about it, too. The abstract that we talked about today was from the following paper: “A meta-analysis of technology use and cognitive aging” Benge & Scullin, Nature Human Behaviour, 2025 “Online ahead of print” (thus, no volume number or page numbers) as of the date of this episode upload. PubMed link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40229575/ Journal link: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41562-025-02159-9 We can read its abstract on either of the above websites. Unfortunately, the other parts of the paper are subscription-based. So, they are accessible, if you or your institutions have a subscription to the journal. This episode = mini-series: reading-32.

My students selected a paper to read in a journal club. The abstract (and the rest of the paper) was not written well. The abstract gave us two precious lessons. Lesson 1: Good structural organization will help the readers understand the content. Lesson 2: Abstracts of peer-reviewed papers can be disorganized. I hope you learn them in this episode, too! This episode = mini-series: reading-31. (My email is active. But my website is under construction. Please wait for a while. Thank you for the patience!)…

1 49. Another well-crafted logic loop in Abstract by Nobel Laureates (mini-series: reading-30) 18:26
We will talk about the second of the two, well-crafted loops of logic, in the Abstract of a paper written by the Nobel Prize Laureates. Not all abstracts have this second loop. But when it is present, it gives a better overview of the impact of the presented work. We can find one of the best examples in our Abstract. We are reading the paper written by the Laureates, Dr. Katalin Karikó & Dr. Drew Weissman, that led to the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2023. We call it the Milestone Article 1. Here are two sets of links related to the paper. Milestone Article 1: “Suppression of RNA recognition by Toll-like receptors: the impact of nucleoside modification and the evolutionary origin of RNA” by Karikó, Buckstein, Ni & Weissman. Immunity, 23(2): 165-75, 2005.

I can visualize two well-crafted loops of logic, in the Abstract of a paper written by the Nobel Prize Laureates. Can you? We will talk about one of them in today’s episode. Such a loop, together with a linear progression, highlights the authors’ clear and logical thought process. We are reading the paper written by the Laureates, Dr. Katalin Karikó & Dr. Drew Weissman, that led to the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2023. We call it the Milestone Article 1.

Let's analyze a single sentence in the Abstract of an impressive paper. It is the paper that led to the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. This is the paper that we call the milestone article 1 (Please see below for details). We will analyze the second sentence. Why is this sentence important? We will discuss four of my approaches to see that this sentence is important, beautiful and helpful for readers outside the field. It is fun to spend one episode for just a single sentence, and think deep about how it reveals the authors' logic. Here are two sets of links related to the paper written by the Laureates, Dr. Katalin Karikó & Dr. Drew Weissman of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2023.

1 46. Let’s analyze the Abstract of a paper written by Nobel Laureates (mini-series: reading-27) 27:59
Today, we will analyze the Abstract of an impressive paper. It is the paper that led to the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. This is the paper that we call the milestone article 1. We will have two essential pre-analysis sub-steps, and then we will analyze each sentence. During this analysis, we will read each sentence of the Abstract, examine the role of each sentence, and assign each sentence to a structural component, so that we will be able to understand the authors’ intention for each sentence. Here are two sets of links mentioned in this episode. All are related to the Laureates, Dr. Katalin Karikó & Dr. Drew Weissman of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2023.

Today, we will take a significant step towards understanding the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. We will read the Abstract of the Laureates’ most important paper that led to the Nobel Prize. This is the paper that we call the milestone article 1. We will have two essential pre-reading sub-steps, and then we will conduct the initial readings. These sub-steps will set the stage for a more in-depth exploration in the next episode. Here are two sets of links mentioned in this episode. All are related to the Laureates, Dr. Katalin Karikó & Dr. Drew Weissman of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2023.

How are you reading life-science textbooks? My approach to reading textbooks has evolved significantly throughout my academic career, from student to researcher to instructor to course director. Today’s episode is part 2. We will discuss the last two phases of my experience. I am now in the fourth phase. I fully appreciate how well the authors summarized a vast amount of knowledge in one field of life sciences, in coherent and consistent manners. Please enjoy listening to my different phases of reading textbooks. It will be great if these episodes serve in stimulating your thoughts about how to read textbooks. (My email is active.

Today’s episode is part 1. We will discuss the first two phases of my experience. My overall goal of the two-part episodes is to highlight the unique roles that textbooks play, different from those of primary research papers. Knowing these different purposes will help us read textbooks more effectively. (My email is active. But my website is under construction. Please wait for a while. Thank you for the patience!)…

“Should I exclude irrelevant experiences from my academic CV?” This is a question that students often ask. In this episode, I would like to give you my thoughts about this question. In general, there is a way of creating a comprehensive CV: it will show that you have unique experiences, and you are a careful and a thoughtful writer. The key would be for you to be proud of what you did in the past. I hope that this discussion will be useful for you. (My email is active. But my website is under construction.

“Should my CV be short or long, when I apply for a research assistant position in a college/university lab?” This is a question that students often ask. In this episode, I would like to give you my thoughts about this question. The content in a CV depends on the person’s career stage. But I have one common viewpoint for CVs at all stages. I would like to view the descriptions in the CV, during and after the undergraduate education, as the defining statements of the person. My thoughts about today’s question will be related to this viewpoint. At the same time, I agree that different professors and different students may have opinions different from mine. Let’s discuss them and share diverse perspectives, so that our thoughts will become deeper. (My email is active. But my website is under construction. Please wait for a while.

How do top-tier scientific journals, like Nature, make sure their abstracts are clear and impactful? In today’s episode, we will identify the eight key components that make those abstracts effective, by naming the components in our own words, and clarifying their roles and order. Our system was inspired by the Nature document for the Abstract guidelines that we discussed in the Episode #38. Here is the URL that brings you directly to the Nature document: https://www.nature.com/documents/nature-summary-paragraph.pdf (My email is active. But my website is under construction.
