Journal Club (PHC 7700)-Winter 2011

Graduate Student presentations of current journal articles

Presentations:  A research paper from an upper tier journal (e.g. Cell, Mol. Cell. Biol., EMBO J., Nature, Science, etc.) and a review that will provide sufficient background for your presentation should be posted on the Departmental website at least 10 days prior to your presentation. 
Critiques:  You may critique any paper presented during the current semester.  The critique should be 2 – 3 pages.  It should include a summary of the research and a recapitulation of the authors conclusions (about 1 page).  The review of the paper (1-2 pages) should include an assessment of the significance of the work, of its experimental validity and of the validity of the authors interpretation.  The presentation should not be critiqued. 
Schedule:  This schedule is flexible and changes can be made tomorrow if warranted.
