There are no
shortcuts for learning some of the essential topics in the basic principles and
methodologies of biomedical research. You learn these fundamentals from either
experienced researchers or by attending a workshop dedicated to this theme. As
in previous years, we have organized a workshop on ‘The Basic Concepts of Scientific Research and Scientific
Communication’.
This is a
preconference workshop sponsored by the 63rd Indian Pharmaceutical
Congress, which is meeting in Bengaluru from 16th to 18th
December 2011. The workshop is scheduled for the14 and 15 December in
Bengaluru. Please download a copy of the
brochure and registration form at the conference websites (http://www.ipc-2011.com/; http://www.scientificipca.org/
). A PDF copy of the brochure from the website is also attached to this email. Space
is limited, so register soon to get the subject of your choice. The ‘Writing a
research protocol session’ will be held separately for each of the 5 subjects
in pharmacy. Note that we have allotted more time for statistics. The theory
session will be conducted in two groups, lasting 150 min each.
I am sure
those of you who keep asking questions on fundamental aspects of research such
as research topics, review of literature, how to seek a reference for a
drug/method, data analysis, statistical procedure, scientific writing, poster
presentation, publication, and etc., will seriously consider registering for this workshop.
The Midas
touch: The success (and quality) of our research work depends not on whether or
not we have sophisticated equipments at our disposal, but on how we think
through the research problem (creativity and critical thinking, ideas and
logics in research).
