Neuroscience Journal Clubs
The journals clubs help students and faculty apply their knowledge and keep up-to-date with the current state of their neuroscience specialty area. The meeting format is an interactive forum, in which a primary presenter guides the discussion of a research article, with participation from all attendees.
Seminar Series Journal Club
The purpose of the Seminar Series Journal Club is to familiarize students and faculty with the most important scientific contributions of each seminar speaker in advance of the week's seminar. This preparation allows for better comprehension of the weekly seminar topics and a more robust question-and-answer session with the invited speaker.
The Seminar Journal Club is also a for-credit course, required for first- and second-year students enrolled in the neuroscience graduate program. Journal clubs are open to all neuroscience students, postdocs and faculty. Course directors are Drs. Jeannie Chin and Javier Medina. The course runs from Term 2 through Term 4. The Journal Clubs that fall before, in between, or after school terms are organized by invited speaker’s host lab.
The Seminar Series Journal Club for the academic year 2024-2025 will be held on Wednesdays from noon to 1 p.m. The class meets in person, and anyone else is welcome to attend via Zoom (Passcode: 121212).
If you have any questions about this activity or schedule, please contact either Wanda Kubeczka or Dr. Jeannie Chin.
