Science Commons of the Univeristy of Lethbridge, in Lethbridge, Alberta.

As biochemists and biophysicsts, we need to be able to:

  1. Undersand the underlying chemistry of our subject

  2. Understand the capabilies of our instrumentation

  3. Ask the right questions

  4. Design the right experiments to test our hypotheses

  5. Build the appropriate methods

  6. Collect the appropriate data

  7. Properly analyze that data

  8. Interpret the results

  9. Combine information from multiple methods, if necessary to arrive at an answer
