Students can complete an alternative assignment to the RPP requirement. This assignment will be to review the Table of Contents of an issue of Neuron, Nature Neuroscience, or Brain from any month in 2024 and provide a newspaper article for one of the scientific articles that appears in the journal.
The newspaper article should be written for the general public (see samples in the Science Section that appears each Tuesday of the New York Times) focusing on why the paper is important. It should include quotes (fictious), similar to what you will see in the NYT articles.
Your newspaper article should be 3 double-spaced pages. Please upload a single pdf of your paper and the published study you are writing about.
Please also give me the citations; don’t use AI when you finish. Please send me an AI and plagiarism report.
