In this section, Professor Mark Bathe shares the motivation for developing 20.416J Topics in Biophysics and Physical Biology, a course that addresses aspects of scholarship, such as reading scholarly articles and creating figures for research papers, that are rarely addressed in courses focused on specific academic content. When I began teaching at MIT, Jeff Gore, my co-instructor in 20.416J Topics in Biophysics and Physical Biology, was one of the inaugural speakers in a new Biophysics Program seminar series. The seminars featured different researchers speaking about their work. After he joined MIT, Jeff helped organize the seminars, and we both thought it would be natural to build a course, based on the series, that would integrate the speakers and the topics they addressed. The original model for 20.416J Topics in Biophysics and Physical Biology featured students interacting with the speakers who participated in the seminar series. Students engaged with the speakers, and then, after
