Projects
Your project work will reveal many things to me:
- Whether you have the principles of toxicology integrated into your knowledge framework
- Whether you are able to leverage your knowledge of toxicology
- Whether you can persuasively communicate ideas using this knowledge
- Whether you can critically assess and analyze information using this knowledge
- Whether you have developed both breadth and depth in your thinking about toxicants
