Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Journal Club
BCH 6936
Format
Each week, a student in the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Advanced Concentration
presents a journal article from the current literature to the group of BMB students,
postdocs, and faculty. Senior (4th year) students have the option of giving a
research seminar or presenting a journal article. Two faculty members and one student
are assigned as "readers" and they are available
to answer questions and help with the preparation of the presentation. The readers
also provide the student with feedback on the presentation to aid in the development
of strong presentation skills and the ability to critically evaluate scientific work.
Schedule and Articles
Meetings are on Tuesdays at 11:45 am in ARB room R3-265.
