This thesis-based final paper should be between 3000-4000
words, not including citations. This paper should follow the Perspectives article type (abstract,
title, author, conflicts of interest, etc) can be viewed here: https://www.nature.com/documents/natrevarticleformatguide-review.pdf. You do not have to submit display items (i.e., figures or tables). But, feel
free to include them. I suggest using Zotero for your reference management.
Perspectives is a form of a review that argues a specific hypothesis or thesis statement. Thus, its
important to remember you are not just TELLING me about a field or describing a disease. You HAVE
TO flesh out an actual thesis statement that you then support through writing. You can see examples of
published perspectives here: https://www.nature.com/nature/articles?type=perspective
