Students can be intimidated by finding, navigating, and interpreting primary scientific sources. Meanwhile, students entering health care careers who are reluctant or unable to interpret emerging research miss out on evidence-based treatments or career growth. I offer a method that provides intrinsic opportunities for students of varying abilities and experience in science to experience a scientific article in small bites during which they 1) Find a primary source that interests them, 2) Determine typical contents and basic interpretation of each section, 3) Summarize key content from their papers in digital posters to share in a small, journal club-style meeting and, 4) Reflect on their experiences reading through a primary scientific journal article. As students learn more about biology and lab skills throughout the semester coursework, their understanding of their chosen source crystallizes. I follow progress throughout the semester using online quizzes with soft deadlines, helpful feedback, and multiple attempts.
