New podcast: learning how to read and write academic texts

In the podcast studio, Benjamin Langsted and Cecilie Alfa Karentius Østberg share their experiences as students learning to read and write academic texts in Biochemistry and Law, respectively.

Professor Karen Skriver from Biochemistry explains why she believes it is important for teachers to help students learn how to read academic literature, engage with it critically, and communicate academic knowledge effectively.

Together with host Katja Årosin, the guests also discuss how developments in AI have made critical thinking and the ability to communicate academic knowledge accurately, even more important.
