future analysis in the life of science

To remain relevant within the life sciences, you must be a visionary. Whether you are motivated by
discovery research, finding cures, furthering biotechnology, introducing new medicines, or some other
aspect of the life sciences, you will want to assess whether your ideas and plans have a place both now and
in the future. The basis for the observations (the first step in the scientific method) that lead to the innovation
is often gleaned from primary scientific literature. In this assignment, you will develop and exercise your
visionary skills, first by tracing the scientific method through an assigned primary scientific article. You
will then apply two futuring techniques to the innovation - the development of a new research technique,
project, product, or service - you propose based on the primary scientific article
