Scientific publishing relies heavily on peer review, yet formal training in this skill is rare and often inconsistent across labs. At the same time, preprints are reshaping how research is shared in the life sciences. This course uses preprint servers such as bioRxiv to teach students how to critically and constructively review manuscripts, with a focus on papers at the intersection of AI and biology.
