In this course, you will be writing a specific aims page that proposes a novel hypothesis that is related to some hormone. In the past, some students have had a hard time coming up with something "new" to test, and find the highly technical writing less fulfilling than something that can be appreciated by a broader audience. I'm hoping that pairing that writing assignment with the Wikipedia editing/authoring piece will lead you to some more recent advances in endocrinology.
