Boswell - Biotechnology Research

Remember when doing science research to focus on the ABCDs!
  • Author - Who is writing it? Why should you trust them?
  • Bias - Do they present both sides of the argument?
  • Content - Is the content accurate, thorough, complete, and without error?
  • Date - When was it published?
